Russ Cargill speaking to the people of Springfield
Q. Albert Brooks is an American actor, voice actor, writer, comedian, and director whose Hollywood film debut was in Martin Scorsese's landmark, Taxi Driver and later received an Academy Award nomination in 1987 for his role in the romantic-comedy film, Broadcast News. His voice acting credits include Marlin the clownfish in Finding Nemo, and recurring guest voices for the animated television series The Simpsons, including the evil Russ Cargill in The Simpsons Movie.

But he wasn't always Albert Brooks. Born with a different name, it was only when he was 19 that he gained his current name after changing his name from X, an event that he explains ‘to sound more intelligent’.

What’s X or what's his original name?
