    I wonder why both Charlie and Martin Sheen dropped Estevez but Emilio kept it.

    Re: Real names

    Super Dave had a guest spot on the series Arrested Development, probably 4-6 episodes. He also has been in a few Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes. I'm not sure about him doing the whole Super Dave schtick though. He just played charactors in those two.
