Moby is not actually a relative of author Herman Melville.The producer has said for years he was distantly related to the famed Moby Dick writer, and that he was nicknamed Moby by his parents at a young age in reference to his purported great-great-great-uncle.However, The Genealogy Detective seems to believe the contrary.
