The younger Paul Rudd had to contact him and see if he would relinquish the name. The older one allowed the younger one to have the name since he wasn't planning on returning to the stage. That is how it is done in the acting unions. The oddest case being the two Vanessa Williamses. When the famous one became famous from the Miss America pageant and then joined the acting unions there already was a Vanessa Williams. So the famous one had to be billed as Vanessa L. Williams for a while. Somehow that changed and she became just Vanessa Williams. I always thought the other one was foolishly stubborn to not change her name since Vanessa Williams was very very famous from the pageant and scandal afterwards.
