SHRODER RETURNS TO RICKY
Former NYPD BLUE star RICK SCHRODER has ditched his adult name for the one that made him famous as a child star.
For his upcoming stint on hit drama 24, the actor will be credited as RICKY SHRODER - the name he grew out of in his late teens.
He says, "My agents said, 'You know, you should change your name to Rick. It'll help grow up from a kid to an adult.'
"I've learned in the last 20 years it takes more than dropping a letter from your name to help you grow up. And so I'm more comfortable being called Ricky. My wife, my mom, everybody calls me Ricky... Rick never felt right.
"I felt like I was trying to be something I wasn't."

<font face=Tahoma size=4 color=purple>This is good news for longtime fans like
me. I've always called him Ricky,too, then would stop myself and change it to
Rick which felt forced. The thing is, I don't think he'll be dropping the "C"
from his last name: Ricky spells it S-C-H-R-O-D-E-R! ~jeanie.</font>
