Membership[edit]

Jewish actors - by marriage to Debra Winger in a Jewsih ceremony, Timothy Hutton. He is otherwise not on the list. Even though myself Jewish (by birth and ethnicity; I am a member of a Catholic church) I do not know if this makes him Jewish. I also believe that Hutton and Winger are long since divorced.

One member of the list is a second cousin of mine. We share a last name. However we have had no contact since the early 1960's, so other than our last name being very rare in USA, I don't know that he would recognize me as a relative. 69.210.124.101 (talk) 00:40, 19 February 2008 (UTC) Henry Goodman?

Needs subcategories[edit]

This category is fairly large, and, as such, needs subcategories by nationality, such as "Jewish American actors." Badagnani (talk) 05:36, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The name of the category[edit]

Wouldn't it be easier to just make a category called "non-Jewish actors" or "Gentile actors" and just assume that all actors not in that category were Jewish? Because it seems to me that about 3/4 of them are Jewish, which makes this category seem a little bit silly.174.101.121.203 (talk) 02:28, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
