Dear David-Baptiste,
Not all of the eight Secret Fluxus participants are using my current no-name, only me.
I must admit, though, that I am aware of and playing on several famous no-names of the past. Eastwood is one. But his character is also based on earlier heroes, including the character played by Toshiro Mifune in Kurosawa's Yojimbo, a character who returned yet again in the movie Last Man Standing to be played by Bruce Willis.
There is also a 1973 movie titled My Name is Nobody in which Terence Hill plays Nobody to Henry Fonda's retired gunslinger Jack Beauregard. This movie was written by Sergio Leone as an ironic commentary on his own genre of spaghetti westerns, but directed by Valerio Tonini (with Leone working as the uncredited second unit director).
My Name is Nobody has also been titled Lonesome Gun is a 1974 release in the USA, Mein Name ist Nobody in West Germany, Mon nom est personne in France, and Mio nome � Nessuno in the original Italian.
I haven't yet decided whether to choose a name or to retain my no-name.
Sincerely,
The Man Without a Name
