What's in a name...? This was Michael Landon's real one.

Answer Eugene Maurice Orowitz

Eugene Maurice Orowitz just isn't a name that screams "RISING STAR". Eugene changed his name to Michael Landon after discovering his chosen stage name, Michael Lane, was already taken in the Screen Actors Guild. He got "Landon" out of a phone book.
