He is of Ashkenazi background and is known for playing Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films.

He doesn't look Levantine, so obviously he must look somewhat Italian, given the ancestry of Ashkenazim?

Yes but would pass better as Austrian/German or Irish imo

He looks more than a little like Jon Hamm.

He could easily pass as a native Brit

Not sure what you mean here. Are you saying North Italians are Ashkenazim descended?
To answer your question, he could pass but I would not say his type is representative of North Italy.

Very likely. He does not look distinctly Jewish at all.

i do see some similarities with Roberto Mancini (who is more alpinized though)

i did not know the actor was of jewish background, he for sure does not look jewish influenced to me, then of course this is a Sik post so the syllogisms underneath are evident...

No they don't. They're fairly distant from Levantines genetically. Most would stick out in a crowd of Palestinians or Syrian rapefugees.

Some Aschkenazi look levant others look North Euro. They have diverse looks. Some ethnic Levantine can look fair pigmented and Euro looking too
