When an American-born comic actor first came to Hollywood in the early 1960s, he was forced to change his name because, although he was born as Tom Conway, he couldn't use his own name due to the already-established character actor Tom Conway. So he changed his name and became known as Tim Conway.

Invented a pipe cleaner and co-invented the "arcometer" for mechanical drawing with brother George. Didn't apply for US patents.
