[Maguzanci]

Egypt or Morocco?

good guess. not reveal yet. :)

[zarzian]

Algerian ?

[Maguzanci]

i will wait for many more answers before revealing. :D

[Sockorer]

His features look Middle Eastern. He could be a Southern European outlier, but I'm going to go ahead and guess he's a Palestinian.

[Maguzanci]

South America.

[Atvend]

Alright if it is South America then my bet is on Brasil as the most populous SA country.

[Maguzanci]

anyone else?

[Maguzanci]

hello?

[Mortimer]

my first thought was northafrican or arab

[Maguzanci]

my first thought was northafrican or arab

guess the country please. :)

[karimi]

He gives me the vibe of those north african stand up comedians from France. He could be mixed, could also be jewish.

Anyway, you should reveal it now since everyone's saying the same thing.

i will reveal it now but can you tell me what country would you think he is from?

[Mortimer]

guess the country please. :)

any country in northafrica or arabia

[karimi]

i will reveal it now. but what country would you think he is from?

I don't know, maybe Algerian.

[Dylan]

My general guess is some kind of North African. My first guess is Tunisian, but this is unlikely considering how few Tunisians there are. Just behind that, I'd guess either Moroccan or Algerian.

[Maguzanci]

ok that is why you will all be extremely surprised!. He is not Maghrebi or Egyptian.

He is an actor actually from Pernambuco, a state in Northeast Brazil. :)
His name is Irandhir Santos
Here is his profile: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irandhir_Santos

But he can be easily mistaken as Maghrebi in Europe right?

[Dylan]

ok that is why you will all be very surprised. He is not Maghrebi or Egyptian.

He is actually from Pernambuco, Brazil. :)
Here is his profile: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irandhir_Santos

I had a feeling that he was latino (I don't think he looks latin american in the slightest, but he looked so Maghrebi that i figured there must be a catch). Now i want to know how he turned out so NA looking for a Brazilian!!

i wonder too. could it be because he is a mix of iberian+some ssa? such mix i thinking can produce an NA looking person i think.
would he be classified as saharid or berberid?

i don't know the classifications, he just looks north african as hell. an interesting phenotype given his ethnicity.

i think he can be easily mistake as a maghrebi migrant in europe?

http://br.web.img2.acsta.net/r_640_600/b_1_d6d6d6/medias/nmedia/18/87/54/35/20040873.jpg

[Maguzanci]

As portuguese i'm quite familiar with how brazilians look and their diversity, In Portugal he will be guessed as brazilian. I can see the similarities with north africans,but i'm not an expert on north africans phenotype

[Maguzanci]

So are there many overlaps between Latins and North Africans?

[Drawing-slim]

Algerian ?this

[Sikeliot]

Tunisia?

Guess this actor's origin

The thread is about the possible ORIGIN of a person, not about his nationality.

ORIGIN (in its first aception talks about ancestry or parentage), acording to the first aception of the word.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/origin

Brazil (american continent in general is and has been land and target of migration from other areas of the world). So it's not too accurate to claim anyone's origin is "brazilian", but it should be more accurate (according to the meaning of ORIGIN) to find out the origin of his ancestry or parentage, although he could be a brazilian.

In this case I would state the individual's ORIGIN seems to be North Africa or Levantine, according to the first aception of the meaning of ORIGIN (the title of this thread, too) and his physical features on those images.

PS: I met a palestinian extremely similar to the person who appears in these images, and it's not unfrequent to meet people like him from NA and Near East. Thus, this actor can be called with that so weird name, besides Santos Pinto, and be born in Brazil, but he will keep on looking like a NA or Levantine.

you are correct. i think my title question is misleading. it should be guess his nationality instead. the thing is it is possible he has north african or middle east origin. i don't really know. he is from pernambuco in northeast brazil where they are significant triracial population. so he maybe one or have north african/middle east ancestors.

[OnceLord]

Some kind of North African I'd guess.
