Birth Name:
Joseph Leonard Gordon-Levitt
Birth Place:
Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.
Date of Birth:
February 17, 1981
What Race or Ethnicity?:
Jewish
The American actor was born into a Jewish family. His father’s name is Dennis Levitt and his mother’s name is Jane Gordon. Levitt gained fame by taking the role of Tommy on the series 3rd Rock from the Sun. The name Levitt is said to be of Anglo-French origin but could also be an Ashkenazi Jewish surname (as is probably the case here), rather than Anglo-French
Levitt is also able to speak French and is a self confessed Francophile. The youtube link below shows an interview with Joseph on a television show where he speaks French.

The only way he could “admit” to being part Asian is if he were to lie, since he isn’t. Why would you want him to do that?

I’ve noticed Ashkenazic Jews look Asian.
Hot debate. What do you think?
