Michael Keaton was once a stagehand on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. Keaton also appeared in Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood as an acrobat in The Flying Zookeenie Brothers troupe that performed for the birthday of King Friday in 1975. \u00a0He eventually quit his job there to pursue acting full time.<\/p>\n

Another interesting “Keaton” factoid is that his name isn’t actually Michael Keaton.\u00a0 In fact, his name is Michael John Douglas.\u00a0 However, because there already were two famous Michael Douglas’ (the actor and the daytime TV show host, Mike Douglas), he decided to go with Michael Keaton.\u00a0 The “Keaton” was in homage to actress Diane Keaton.\u00a0 Interestingly, Diane Keaton’s last name is also not “Keaton”.\u00a0 Her real name is Diane Hall.\u00a0 She chose “Keaton” when she became an actress as there already was a Diane Hall.\u00a0 Keaton was her mother’s maiden name.<\/p>\n
