Andrew Schulz is an American stand-up comedian, television personality, podcaster, and actor. He has appeared on the shows Guy Code, Benders, Sneaky Pete, and There’s… Johnny!, and in the film Feast of the Seven Fishes, along with podcasts and comedy specials.
His father, Larry Schulz, is a reporter and military veteran, who has German and Irish ancestry. His mother, Sandra, a professional ballroom dancer, is Scottish. The two owned the Sandra Cameron Dance Center. Andrew was raised in the East Village in Lower Manhattan. He is married to Emma Turner, with whom he has a daughter.
Andrew’s paternal grandfather was William Mathias Schulz (the son of Otto Schulz and Emma Mary Jung). William was born in Illinois. Otto was the son of German parents, Mathias Schulz, from Warburg, Höxter, Nordrhein-Westfalen, and Marie Louise Horlbeck, from Wangelin. Emma was the daughter of a German father, William H. Jung, and of an Irish mother, Mary Lavelle.
Andrew’s paternal grandmother was Virginia Latrese Murphy (the daughter of James Joseph Murphy and Anna T. Kelly). Virginia was born in Illinois. James was the son of James Murphy and Jennie Fair, and was of Irish heritage. Andrew’s great-grandmother Anna was the daughter of Irish parents, from County Kerry, William J. Kelly and Ellen Sullivan.
I have German ancestry from Southwestern Germany (Baden Wurttemberg) and most of my German relatives have a very mediterranean look to them (brown curlier hair, brown eyes, olive skin tone, short height) very similar to this guy. Northern Germans tend to look more like the stereotypical Germans but if you head south in Germany you’ll find ones who look more like Andrew. I wonder if his German ancestry is from the south? has to be, he looks so much like my German side of the family.
those places have more slavic influence maybe thats why but whatever they german anyway
Interestingly enough, I do score some 6% unknown Eastern Euro DNA on Ancestry testing which could be from the German. There’s also rumored Jewish heritage from the German side of the family which also could explain the mediterranean looks but ancestry testing shows no Jewish DNA for me.
wow so Schulz is not part jewish? ”Schulz” sounds very Ashkenazi Jewish from Germany or Austria
Schulz actually isn’t particularly Jewish of a name; it’s seen as much more ethnic German than anything.
One of the commonest German surnames. Sometimes Jewish.
Andrew speculates about 4 minutes into this video that his German ancestors might have Ashkenazi Jewish heritage:

yeah it can totally be true, not saying there is no ethnic German who looks like him, take footballer Hummels as an example(also his Scottish and Irish ancestors could be heavily Celtic with little Viking influence), but i was under the impression that his last name was very Jewish-sounding
