I'm 100 percent Irish by birth, grew up Italian, and yet I constantly get cast as playing Jewish.

I think of myself as being Jewish and Irish, despite the fact that I'm English.

I am an unusual Irishman. I'm probably Ireland's third most famous Jewish son.

I remember as a kid being asked if I was Jewish or Irish. I said, like the glib little 15-year-old I was, 'You can be both.' Feeling very pleased with myself. Before they smacked me.

People do think I'm Jewish. But we're Irish Catholic. My father had a brogue.

I really don't even think of myself as being Jewish except when I'm in Germany.

I am Jewish, Italian, American, Catholic.

I'm Italian, but some people think I'm Jewish because I work the Yiddish. I also work the Italian, by the way.
