[edit] Jewish?

With a name like "Zachary Levi" I would assume he is Jewish, but can anyone confirm that? --Fez2005 (talk) 05:18, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

He's not.

"Also like Chuck, Mr. Levi says people often think that he is something that he is not. During an interview on the eve of Yom Kippur, as the sun began to dip over the Hollywood hills, a reporter asked Zachary Levi if he didn’t need to leave to prepare for the Jewish holiday. He explained with a laugh that people often mistakenly assume that he’s Jewish and that his real name is Zachary Levi Pugh, but that he dropped his Welsh surname years ago when his agent told him that a guy named Zach Pugh (pronounced Pew) would not be going far in Hollywood."
