The Bugonia star was forced to change her birth name when she became a working actress, but the process wasn't a smooth one. Emma, whose real first name is Emily, recently told The Late Show with Stephen Colbert she had originally landed on the name "Riley". "I actually adopted a stage name for, I would say, like six months. Because the Screen Actors Guild, it's like the Business Bureau. You can only have one person with that name," Emma, 36, explained.
