why would an actor be credited as the character he's playing - doesn't make sense. — Ched (talk) 02:42, 8 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi Ched. If you look at Taliaferro's AFI page, you see that often he played a character called Wally "X", e.g. Wally Weldon, Wally Madison), or in this single instance, simply Wally. Taliaferro went by the stage name of Wally Wales during the early part of his career. The WP article on him is under that stage name. I wonder if we shouldn't change that article to his more used real name, although I'm not 100% sure, since he might have been more famous as a silent film actor under that stage name.Onel5969 TT me 07:21, 8 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
