What kind of a name is Guy for a guy?
Guy Williams played Professor John Robinson. But didn't he have a silly name? What kind of a name is guy? That's like calling a girl "Girl". Do you think his parents simply couldn't think of a name?

Guy was not born in Brazil. He was born and raised in New York City.

There's a Guy Williams home page. He was born Armando Joseph Catalano to immigrant parents who came here from Sicily. He grew up in NYC. When he entered show-biz an agent suggested he change his mane to avoid him being type cast in ethnic roles. In the mid 70's he was enticed to go to Argentina to make a publicity appearance, the people there worshipped him. He wasn't happy with Hollywood and the lack of good roles post LIS. He eventually moved to Argentina after several years of jaunting back & forth between LA & Buenos Aires

It was also to disguise the fact he was not an american (Born in Brazil) despite so often playing the all american dad roles

Actually everyone in Hollywood thought that Guys real name would limit the amount of roles he would be offered and he was urged to change his name
