Consider adding following to article:

While a New York stage actor, Sweeney was known as "Danny" Sweeney but was not able to use that name on SAG/AFTRA productions, thus is always credited as "D.B."

Source of foregoing: Danny's high school drama teacher.

SAG Rule 15 states, in essence, that no two SAG members should use the same name professionally. This rule has been interpreted strictly, i.e. if an applicant's birth name is the same as the professional name of another member, then the applicant will be required to pick a new name. That's what happened to Sweeney.

I suggest this page be deleted. There is another page on D. B. Sweeney, that accruately lists his true name (Daniel Bernard) and not 'da bod.' If you do a search for 'da bod sweeney' Wikipedia is the only listing.
