I think you'll find most American actors have close migrant roots.

Off the top of my head I can't think of many Native American Hollywood stars.

:rolleyes:

The only one that comes to mind is Elvis Presley, apprently he had a 1/4 Native American blood in him. Native Americans don't make it probably because of role discrimination.

Hollywood, in it's hay day, didn't have much idea about authenticity, as far as race was concerned.

In most classic westerns, they used tons of make-up, to turn those pale faces into naughty 'Red Indians'.

:rolleyes:

Funny you should say :D Jack Palance ain't his real name, his parents are Ukrainian and birth name - Volodymyr Palahniuk - he probably looks a bit "indian" as he may have some Siberian blood in him :eek:
