IMDB does not have William Katt listed as Ralph Hinkley and Ralph Hanley

I remember watching this show when I was 9 1/2 years old almost 10 years old when it first aired on ABC. I remember when President Reagan was shot at by that crazy man who was doing it for his professed love for the actress Jodi Foster. One of the Secret Service agents name was Hinkley. So out of respect for the family they changed Ralph Hinkleys name to Ralph Hanley. I noticed this happened in the first season of when the show aired. Why don't IMDB also list this? That is why I am putting this up here and was just wondering about it.

Actually, IMDb does have it listed.

You just need to click on the name of the character and look under Alternate Names.

Thanks for clearifying that for me! I did not realize that at all.

Also, the shooter's name was "John Hinkley" not the secret service agent.

Thread_Killer_of_IMDb is out there. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until your post is dead.

When it happened I was around 9 or 10 years old. I still remember seeing the news flashes of this on every network at that time in the early 80's.
