SEEHORN'S REAL NAME? While she has been going by Rhea Seehorn throughout her acting career, this is not actually the 50-year-old's real name. Her real full name is Deborah Rhea

Seehorn with the star choosing to go by her middle name rather than her first. She is far from the only famous face to do this with stars such as Ashton Kutcher, Mindy Kaling, Brad Pitt and

Reese Witherspoon doing the same. Seehorn explained her reasoning behind this a few years ago to Rolling Stone magazine. Seehorn's mum was an executive assistant, mostly for the Navy,

whereas her dad was a counterintelligence agent for the Naval Investigative Service. Due to his work, Seehorn and her family had to move around a lot, living in places like Arizona, Japan

and Virginia. It is believed that the actress was given the middle name "Rhea" after the man that introduced her parents to one another. Given how her mum and dad both worked in

the Navy in some capacity, it is most likely that "Ray" also worked for the service.
