In the “Hush” episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the “Gentlemen” who all look typically German pass over many dorm room doors until reaching Room 118. “118″ in Cantonese is a pun for Every Day/Daily Prosperity in other words “Live Long and Prosper” and the inhabitant who gets his heart ripped out is played by a Semitic looking actor.

I don’t know if Fran Kranz is Jewish either. His soulmate was Summer Glau in Dollhouse but he also did a Wailing Wall kind of keening in the last episode – that could just mean he’s disrespectful and not Jewish.

Ok, I know I come from a different point of view, but as a religious Jew, and one who sees a Jew as one that is connected to G-d by covenant, I find it totally useless to judge a film on how many Jews were in the making. Many Jews in Hollywood, I would never support based on their view of Torah, Judaism or the State of Israel. When rating a film based on its Jewishness seems to be an open invitation for the Goyim to show how the Jews own Hollywood, and invites more racism. It may even show the public so that they wont go see the film. Perhaps rating based on how little shtus, how the movie promotes Torah values, Its support of Israel, this may have a little merit for me. Of course I dont go to Movies much, but if there were a rating system, it might make movies more accessible to me. This is just my perspective and not everyone will agree.

Fran Kranz ain’t Jewish, if you were curious (just [part] German).

It’s funny that Alison Brie’s last name is really Schermerhorn… especially because it’s her non-Jewish father’s very German last name. Her Jewish mom’s name, Brenner, is a lot more easy to put on a marquee, that’s for sure!
