Laurence (see Lord Olivier) or Lawrence. I've even known a Leonard who went by Larry, though that's admittedly nonstandard.

That's what makes the difference. Those with the power and money to get a movie made don't want anything to spoil their chances. So if someone comes out publicly he'll just magically vanish from the short list of names considered for stars of A-list projects. There are so many others in contention.
