Classify Joshua Bell

[Grey]

Popular American violinist. He says he's Jewish but I would have thought him completely European; I'd even say he's got a very typical Anglo-American look, at least in comparison to those in my area. I live in a Jewish town though, so maybe my perception is skewed?

I think he looks very western European.

In Violinist Joshua Bell walks in the footsteps of masters (http://www.jewishjournal.com/music/article/violinist_joshua_bell_walks_in_the_footsteps_of_ma sters_20061013/), an article from jewishjournal.com, it says:

Bell is, by his own admission, more of a cultural Jew than a religious one. "My mother is Jewish, a very typical Jewish mother," he said. "She was very involved in my practicing. Both my parents were behind me and loved music. But for me, Jewishness was very much a cultural tie. I feel very close to the Jewish side of the family. I grew up with my Jewish cousins, going to all the bar mitzvahs, so I feel very close to that side, and I identify myself as being Jewish."

Hope that helps.

He looks like he might have some Amerindian in him.

He reminds me a little of a less handsome, younger John Barrowman. Could he be North Arlantid?

He probably has very low or no semitic blood though.

North Atlantid or Keltid.
