So I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, since pretty much everyone here is posting questions for movie titles, but here it is anyway.

Is it just some unspoken creed that movies with Jewish actors in prominent roles always have some little something or other that is Jewish?

When a Jewish actor gets married, the wedding is almost ALWAYS Jewish.

Like Emperor's New Groove when Mudka(?) says Mazel Tov. Or Kronk's New Groove in his fantasy his wedding is Jewish.

Just found that interesting. All of Ben Stiller's weddings that I have seen have been Jewish. Adam Sandler's too.

I beg to differ. There was that Big Fat Greek Wedding thing. Since 99% of Hollywood Movie Studios are Jewish owned, you do see a lot of Jewish actors and Jewish agenda in film.

Can you back up that statement?

Were one of the actors in Big Fat Greek Wedding Jewish? I thought she was truly Greek.

I have no problem with it at all, I identify with the Jewish faith even though I am not blood, I just found it interesting.

This is one of the most inane questions I have ever seen.

Its not the actor but the role. Now, if you were casting for a role where the character is jewish doesn't it make sense to cast a jewish actor? On the reverse, if the role is christian, isn't a casting agent more likely to cast a christian actor?

And if the role is jewish, isn't any wedding going to be jewish? or vice versa?

Why not ask; if someone bleeds in a move why is the blood always red?

That makes just as much sense as your question.

I can back it up Scott but you will, as always, deny it. Inane question?

Is that every Studio? Are those owners or executive management?

Doesn't Sony own a large portion of movie production?

But movies like 50 First Dates, Sandler's role isn't as a Jewish guy, he's just a guy, but in the end when you see their wedding it is Jewish. I'm not trying to make a big deal out of this, it's just something that I always wondered.

Most movie weddings are Christian, even if they are produced or directed by a Jew. But when it is a Jewish actor, whether their role was as a Jewish person or not or if there was anything else Jewish in the movie, the wedding is Jewish. I find it kind of cool that they would want a piece of their own heritage and religion in contrast to the Christian wedding.

I'm not saying I have tons of information or "facts" to back any of this up. I am just going by observation. Just an "inane" question I guess...

Maybe I should have posted this in Religion.

Gothic,
Jews get very defensive about stuff like this. Catholics, Muslims and others not so much.
