When I first saw Vartan on "Alias", my foreskin-dar turned on. I became curious about him. He has a certain european look. Low and behold, I checked imdb, and he was born in France. And he had a definite french look.
BUT...
IMDB was updated with more text:
Although born in France, he comes from a complex ethnic background - his Bulgarian-born father Eddie Vartan is half Armenian and half Hungarian, while his Polish Jewish mother Doris Vartan was born in Poland but later in life became an American citizen.
And a quote from him:
The funny thing is I'm actually a Polish Jew who happens to be born in France. My mom is Polish and my dad is Bulgarian. I don't have an ounce of French blood. But I work it.
He grew up in France, so it would be interesting to know if he was cut or uncut. (aka: if mother did or didn't transmit her jewish rituals to their son).
