Nope. You have it backwards. Richard Smith legally changed his last name to O'Brien (his maternal grandmother's name) one day while on the phone with the British Actors Equity, to avoid confusion with another Richard Smith (not another O'Brien). There is only one Richard O'Brien AND Richard O'Brien DID write "The Stripper", "The Rocky Horror Show", "Shock Treatment", "Disgracefully Yours" AND it is him in "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". His big bald casaba head is even on his solo CD which contains a good portion of the songs of the "Disgracefully Yours" musical he wrote.

See, it's the same melon head on "The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" article, Riff Raff from The RHPS, and Mr. Hand from "Dark City" (I still say "The Matrix" ripped this movie off). Now please, if you don't know what you are talking about, stop making stuff up.
