What is Red Foreman's real name?

Question

Red from that 70's show. does anyone know what Red is short for, or how he got that nickname? i was just really curious, because who would name their kid Red, i figured it must stand for something or just be a nick name.

thanks!

Answer 1

According to Wiki and imdb, Kurtwood Larson Smith (born July 3, 1943) is an American television and film actor.

Smith was born in New Lisbon, Wisconsin, the son of Mabel Annette Lund (née Larson) and George Smith.[1] He was raised in Los Angeles, California. Smith's mother was a fan of a country singer named Kurt (or Curt) in the early 1940s. However, she thought "Kurt Smith" was too short a name, so she added "wood" ("she just tacked it on to the end," he said). Smith has said that he is likely the only Kurtwood.
