He was known for his Joker role in The Dark Knight. RIP. He was an Aussie of Anglo-Celtic descent. Where would you pass him outside of the UK, Scandinavia, and most of northern Europe?

He is a Brit Colonial mix though, he could probably couldn't pass anywhere besides Scandinavia or Germany.

He was 1/16 Jewish, so Israel.

Interesting. Any sources that state he was Jewish?

Not sure about Israel, but I can see him passing as an Ashkenazi Jew. He looks similar to Joseph Gordon-Levitt after all, another Ashkenazi Jew:

I was kind of joking, but:

Heath’s matrilineal great-great-grandmother Lillian was Jewish, of both Ashkenazi and Sephardi background. She was the daughter of Joseph Samuel Solomon and Miriam/Mariam Solomon, who were both from Jewish families from London, England. Joseph’s father, Heath’s four times great-grandfather, was Emanuel Solomon, a businessperson and politician in the early days of the Colony of South Australia.

Heath’s matrilineal line can be traced back to Sarah Isaacs/Isaac, who was born, c. 1790, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Sarah was a Dutch Jew.

Heath was a sixth cousin, three times removed, of British actor and comedian Peter Sellers. Heath’s maternal eight times great-grandparents, Daniel de David de Mendoza and Esther Lopez, were also Peter’s maternal five times great-grandparents. Daniel and Esther were Sephardi Jews. Through his Mendoza line, Heath was also a relative of boxer Daniel Mendoza, who was boxing champion of England in 1792–1795.

So he does have Jewish ancestry.

Initially I thought that he had Mongoloid admixture.
