Comment on Why do people refer to characters in movies by their actor's names?

Unless a movie says a character’s name A LOT I will forget it. I’m so so bad with names. But I hear actors’ names all the time. It’s that simple. If I remembered the characters’ names, I’d use them. I suppose also for more obscure movies that I like, I’d probably use the actors’ names if I think other people don’t know the movie.

I love the movie Bad Moms but I can never remember the main character’s name, they should have just named her Mila Kunis.
In the movie Mercy, starring Chris Pratt, the main character’s name is Chris. They probably figured people would call him that anyway

Go the Oceans 13 (12?) route and just be like “You look like Julia Roberts.”
