> 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). Yes, this is the published information which Marvello has some insight to which would seem to contradict the "Smith" part, but as you see, the information about "Smith" is widely known. Indeed, he did change his name from Smith to O'Brien, legally, perhaps, though to my own sight, I have no confirmation of this. On the other hand, he did not do so until AFTER someone else using the name Richard O'Brien was using it as an alias, and that person was Jim Cypherd. So, instead of confusing with Smith, the more desireable confusion was far more promising to his advancement than the other, because he may not have looked as much like Smith as he did Cypherd, as Riff Raff. Looked like, in family resemblance. Furthermore, there was someone else in the family who was born Richard O'Brien, whom had tragically met a death, in reverse irony, Cypherd has told me, due to mistaken identity. Prior to Jim's taking that name as an alias, this cousin had died, and so this family feud of sorts is played out with so many people at odds with one another much more than are in the actual feud. I make no comments about "Shock Treatment" but Cypherd told me something about this. Cypherd told me that he managed through circles to write the music so it would serve the series, but he did not write the story or make himself conspicuous in the production. If you have an argument with this point, take it up with Jim Cypherd, I guess, and I have no reason to doubt that because he has many many friends who know the truth in that music/professional world, who would have given him this opportunity, with or without the knowledge of Smith. Just like Cypherd was able to take the role on stage in the 1998 25th anniversary of the stage production for one night, without Smith's intervention. >AND it is him in > "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang".

What is currently "Disgracefully Yours" is the Mephistopheles Smith character, and this show was reworked, indeed by Smith, and he is indeed in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. But the original author of the character of Mephistopheles Smith was Cypherd using the name "Richard O'Brien". > > > http://www.rockymusic.org/img/cds/AbsoluteOBrien-Medical-FrontCoverS.jpg > > See, it's the same melon head on "The Chitty Chitty Bang > Bang" article, I have done extensive works of photographic analysis of "melon heads" from all of the known works shown on the internet of this Smith, and compared them with Riff Raff. There are differences. Real, visible, measurable, anatomical differences. Now please, if you don't know what you are talking > about, stop making stuff up. I know what I am talking about, and I am not making stuff up. The first film appearance Smith made as O'Brien was in 1977, when he played a character who was hiding his head under a hood. After that he shaved his head, so as to be able to show his head and look like Riff Raff. There is a family resemblance, but there are definite differences, and there are definite acts of covering up the differences in the various roles and appearances he has made. It is a highly sophisticated ruse, one that is being made to bring much consternation to people who really do want to have things real, and the reality is, that he didn't care much about the consternation, or the truth, just the gain. The lies are not the fault of the truth-tellers, they are the faults of the liars, and neither Jim Cypherd in those statements pertinent made to me, or my statements pertinent made to you, are liars. There's alot that is visible, discernable, and shown, that is objective, measurable, and clear enough to be deemed as proof. It is these evidences that I have meted out and published on my website. As always, an intellectual exchange of questions and answers, is invited. > > > > So sorry.
