Does he have any Irish in him?
*Charles Samuel Brackett and Bertha Ellen Pilley
He looks like an Ashkenazim Jew to me.
Everytime I look up a Scottish-American actor there’s always people trying to make out they are Jewish.
alot of jews do sport that look
I grew up in the Ashkenazi community, and he doesn’t.
You sure bout that?
