The commonality of changing your name for the entertainment industry is something that’s long fascinated me. In fact, I’m surprised it’s taken me this long to bring it up on an episode of Collider Ladies Night. But, the time did finally come and it was during my conversation with Stateless star Yvonne Strahovski. While we do know her quite well by that name courtesy of her extensive list of hit projects including Chuck, The Handmaid’s Tale, Dexter and more, the true spelling of her last isn’t actually “Strahovski;” it’s “Strzechowski.”

While it may seem like a little thing, changing such a significant part of your identity is a pretty big decision. While discussing Yvonne Strahovski’s earliest experiences in the industry, I asked her if changing the spelling of her last name took a good deal of thought and consideration, or if it was just no big deal. Check out what she said in this clip from her episode of Collider Ladies Night!
