His name[]

Any idea what this person's *real name* is? IMDB says "Robert Richey", military records say "Robert A. Kieth", most fan sites say "Robert Keith". I tend to go with the military records since he signed his name "Robert A. Kieth" for over three years and once even scratched out a page where they wrote "Keith" and corrected it. -FleetCaptain 03:05, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

To clarify the above, in his World War II USMC file (which I have a copy of since it is now a public record), Brian Keith indicated his birth name as "Kieth". On one page, where a military clerk wrote "Keith", he even scratched it out and corrected it to "Kieth". I can scan a copy of the page if need be, but it might take a day or two. -FC 20:41, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

I know it wasn't Robert Ritchey. His official site says he was born as "Robert Alma Keith". However, I'm pretty sure the official site originally had it spelled as "Kieth;" that's why I reverted it before I learned the site had it spelled as "Keith." If you can upload a copy of his USMC file, we can use that as the source of his name and change it back to "Kieth," which I'm sure was his real birth name. --From Andoria with Love 05:12, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
I believe your request is best made using a Standard Form 180. --Alan 05:21, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Ahhhhh..Standard Form 180....I know it well. I found my copy of Keith's record. After New Years I'll scan a page and post it. -FC 02:33, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
