Coinkydink Or Coinkydonk? Besides Band Names, What Do These Actors Have In Common?

This one took me awhile to figure out, but it doesn’t make the Coinkydink or Coinkdonk any less powerful (and they’re not very powerful to begin with)…

With Actor! Jared Leto out there fulfilling his Jordan Catalano duties as the lead singer in his band, 30 Seconds to Mars, I suddenly realized that his band name was a hybrid of two other Actors!‘s band names that came before:

  • Keanu Reeves kept it chill in space with his band, Dogstar

30 Odd Foot of Dogstar

So… weird, huh?  Slightly.  I mean, Kevin Costner, Julitte Lewis, and Jada Pinkett Smith’s band names (Modern West, The Licks, and Wicked Wisdom disrespectively) don’t bear any similarity to the others or each other.

So I posed a question to my co-workers and friends… besides each being in a band, what do these three Actors! have in common?
