I did in that timeframe. To be clear, it's not "Mr Surname" but just plain "Surname". I have a lot of friends like that, "Boughter", "Mooney", etc. Not everyone, but particularly if the first name was a common one or they played sports.
I'm actually surprised you're not familiar with the practice. Think Scully from X-Files or Stifler from American Pie.
Not just Scully, but essentially everybody from every doctor or police procedural goes by their last name. The shows aren't called Meredith's Anatomy, Gregory, Adrian, or Theo.

I always assumed it was his first name, thanks for expanding my understanding just a little!
