most actors go with their real names these days. it used to be thought that ethnic names,such a Jewish or Latin,could hamper ones career.now, if you notice,it seems like having an unpronounceable name is almost a badge of honor,especially in television. i think one of the exceptions is if your name is smith or Jones.there may be so many others registered,one would be forced to change it up a little.

they want it to be pretty. and i think other actors change it becoz it's too long. some are for their screen names. coz they want their name to make a history

A lot of them do it for publicity. Some of their managers tell them to do it. Some of them do it if they have famous family because they don't want their fame to be categorized because of their famous family. Some of them do it to protect their family as well.

so that they have a better name. some people might have a name that has no ring to it or something. or like Patrick Stump...his real name is Patrick Stumph but he removed the H for pronounciation reasons.

Because some actors want to be a popular right? So, if we want our celebrities to be popular , why we tell their long name. So difficult right? What do you call Brad Pitt? He isn't Brad Pitt. He is William Bradley Pitt.

I hope you got the best answer for your question. Have a nice day!

sometimes it's because it's too ethnic..and they cant get roles..martin sheen probably took a stage name because his original name was too ethnic..and he wanted it to be more anglo..so he could get more roles in the entertainment biz.

Ease of rememberance is one probability- another they may consider is privacy for their immediate family,

for publicity

Commercial reasons, some sound easier and more popular.
