Nope, I thought he was an Irish kid playing a Jewish guy.
And when he married Gilda, I thought it was a cross-marriage.
For some reason I pictured him Irish. Plus they were married in a rustic French setting that was reminiscent of Scotland or Ireland. But not a typical Jewish wedding. As in, there was no huppa or rabbi performing the ceremony. She was his third wife, according to his bio.
Maybe because he wasn't particularly observant or vocal about his being Jewish, it didn't resonate. That he could play a Jewish guy so well, I chalked up to his considerable talent. Now I see that was probably closer to his true character than some of the other parts he played.
