I was cruising around on imdb.com chasing some random thought that I had while watching television and eventually found my way to Elvis Presley's imdb profile. After skimming the endless soundtrack list, I found his acting list - a total of 31 movies. Something struck me as quite hilarious... the names of the characters that EP played in his cookie-cutter canned movies have the most benign, yet hilarious, names. For every character named Mike Edwards there's a Tulsa McClean. Boys next door, bad boys, cowboys and crooners - Clint, Glenn, Rusty, or Vince - the names are an interesting microcosm of romance novel heroes and weekly serial stereotypes that Elvis was destined (or doomed) to play.

Of course there's a couple of random beauties thrown in the mix for good measure... Walter Gulick? Really? Who sees Elvis and says to themselves, "Now THAT'S Walter Gulick!"? Check out the complete list of his characters below... which is your favorite?
