Yes, my daughter pointed out to me that Lon Chaneys real name was Leonidas. I looked it up, and discovered that it was the real name of Lon Chaney Sr., the father of Lon Chaney Jr., whom we all associate with Dracula. Still an interesting fact, though. Lon Jr. decided to go by that name when he started his film career, but his actual given name was Creighton.
