According to his wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Camargo Minnick was just the anglicized name that his grandfather made his children take due to him losing roles for having a Spanish/Latino last name.
Minnick is his non-hispanic father’s last name, his maternal grandfather Ralph Camargo was Mexican. I hate to be rude, but maybe you should try reading the article you comment on, before you leave 4 identical comments.
He said it in an interview but maybe he just got his own family history mixed up. It happens. And I made 2 identical comments, 1 was a mistake. You hate be rude yet you are rude lmao

Sorry I put the wrong wiki link here lol… I would delete it but can’t
Could the husband be Christian’s grandfather?

for whatever reason he’s listed as “Male actors of Italian descent” on Wikipedia. “Camargo” is a Spanish last name.
I think it would be interesting if someone found out more about his father’s side. “Minnick” appears to have multiple possible origins, including German, English, and Slavic.
“Minnick” I think it’s an Anglo name, like “Selleck, which might sound Slavic.
Yea apparently Minnick was just an adopted name his grandfather made his children take on to sound more anglicized instead of latino. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Camargo
