Damn. When I looked at this thread, I thought it was about the well-known actor Will Smith. That would be confusing to some of his fans, since both of them have the same name.

Yeah, first time I read it, I was thinking "I didn't know that Will Smith played pro ball before". :-[

He was a key player in the Saints' Super Bowl win over the Colts in 2012. I hate that off the field violence is taking some if the most talented athletes away from us. RIP Will.

I agree with Indy's post here.

There is also a pro baseball pitcher who goes by the name Will Smith... but I think all 3 guys have different middle names.
Wow, people should put their middle names whenever they're mentioned. It would cause less confusion.

Yeah, I believe that if two distinct famous people have the same first and last name, something should be done to differentiate them.
But then again, some people don't have middle names.

Oh. Then, they should use different versions of the same name. Like William.

Just saw on TMZ that Will Smith did a hit-and-run on the accused killer's vehicle moments before him getting shot. Looks like there's more to this story..,

That's true. Btw, the Will Smith that most people know of (the actor/rapper, aka the Fresh Prince), his first name is short for Willard.
Not sure about the other two guys.

Then why the f*ck aren't they using Willard, since there's two other Will Smiths?

Probably because he was popular way before the other two were.
In fact, I'm looking on Wikopedia right now, and there's even more, aside from him.
Will Smith, (born 1968), American actor, rapper, producer, and songwriter -- perhaps the most famous of all these guys
Will Smith (comedian) (born 1971), UK comedian, actor and writer -- his bio indicates he's only been active since 2004
Will Smith (defensive end) (1981–2016), American football defensive end -- (he's the guy who just died; full name William Raymond Smith)
Will Smith (linebacker, born 1992) -- played for the Dallas Cowboys in 2014-2015 (full name William Lamont Smith)
Will Smith (baseball) (born 1989), American pitcher in Major League Baseball -- played for KC Royals 2012-13 and Milwaukee Brewers since 2014 (full name William Michael Smith)
Will Smith (cricketer) (born 1982), English cricketer -- (full name William Rew Smith)
Will Smith (rugby league) (born 1992), rugby footballer for the Penrith Panthers -- (full name William smith; no middle name)
These were all the people listed as "Will Smith" on the William Smith (disambiguation) Wiki page.

^I know, there's plenty of them. The same can be said about other first-and-last-name combos.

I think the only requirement is for actors to either change their name or use a different form of it if another actor has the same name. If they are in different fields of activity (acting vs sport) then there should not be any confusion between two people with the same name
