They’re very Jewish. just not demonstrative. 
Their characters’ father, as played by Judd Hirsch, is one yarmulke short of a stereotype.
Rob Morrow is more of a thinking-man’s G-Man, though. Some of the goyim supporting cast seems there to take up the fist-fighting and car-chasing slack, and as a result those characters are more two-dimensional and dull.
Oh, fine. Who’s the last Presbyterian movie tough-guy?
Point is, movies seldom dwell on the religion of the main character. Or even mention it. (Superman Returns didn’t either, for that matter.)
By the way, in Beerfest:
Charlie “Fink” Finklestein gets so angry at the arrogance of the German drinking team that he shows “The Eye of the Jew” and carries his team to victory in the boat-race rematch
A couple from the 1980s, and a golden oldie:
The spy thriller The Soldier, starring Ken Wahl, has a couple of IDF soldiers and a couple of Mossad agents. They are bit parts, not leading roles, but they are definitely butch.
The TV mini-series Reilly, Ace of Spies, starring Sam Niell as the real-life WW1 spy. “Sidney Reilly” was a pseudonym. The guy was born Sigmund Rosenblum, and the movie does explicitly mention this. (Although Rosenblum’s parents were actually Muslims who converted to Judaism, but hey, he was raised kosher.)
The Young Lions. Although it is most famous for Marlon Brando and Dean Martin, Montgomery Clift’s role as a Jewish GI is arguably the central character. He starts out wimpy, but in the end, Dean Martin is HIS sidekick!
Dude, we all know that Judaism is way more than just a religion. There aren’t stereotypes about Presbyterian or Methodist people the way there are about Jews. Also, you can’t tell from someone’s name what denomination of Christian they are, usually, but if a character has a Jewish name, it’s pretty unambiguous that he’s supposed to be Jewish. And they tend to give the Jewish names to less than appealing characters.
How many counter-examples would it take to dispel this belief?
Enough so that the list of neurotic Jewish dorks doesn’t seem so…damn…long in comparison.
Are we still discounting comedies?
No, not necessarily. If the character is a “cool” character, and not neurotic or a wimp, then sure a character in a comedy would count.
Well, Hebrew Hammer and Zohan are cool as cool can be, I figure.
Clearly you haven’t seen all of his movies. You should watch that one, Rachel Weisz plays one of the most evil (non-murderous) female characters I’ve ever seen in it.
Along the lines of Numb3rs, Agent Mulder of The X-Files is usually thought to be 1/2 Jewish (though non-practicing), and he kicked a fair number of asses.
Kirk Douglass played a few tough guy jews in his time such as in *The Juggler * and in Cast a Giant Shadow.
Also the cast of Escape from Sobibor. Which includes Alan Arkin but especially Rutger Hauer as a Jewish Russian Army POW put in a concentration camp. I know it was made for TV but I mentioned it anyway.
Then Gene Wilder’s character in The Frisco Kid has to count.
Okay, reaching here, but Fievel in An American Tail. He’s a Russian Jew, I believe. Not really a tough guy as such, but he is the protagonist.
Moving out of movies, Ivanova in Babylon 5 is a Russian Jew as well. Her heritage is the focal point of one episode, in fact. And she’s about as badass as you can get.
Having grown up Presbyterian, I can assure you that there are plenty of stereotypes about Presbyterians. They are seen as straitlaced, humorless, conservative in manners, rhythmless, and stuffy. They are all true.
Yes but she is played by Claudia Christian so it’s a push. 
It’s a Scottish religion, so the stereotype’s generally that of Scots (“who keep the Sabbath and all else they can get their hands on”). Unfortunately the cool accent was taken off of the stereotype.
Speaking of Gene Wilder westerns, was his character in Blazing Saddles Jewish?
What about Jeff Goldblum and Judd Hirsch as David and Julius Levinson in Independence Day?
His name is Jim in the movie, doesn’t state if he is Jewish. But the Indian Chief speaks Yiddish.
Well, that’s not entirely true. You can often make an accurate guess at the denomination of Christians with names like Sanchez, or Corleone, but otherwise, you make a point there regarding names being tied to a certain background.
That said, if we can include professional wrestling (since we’ve already included Babylon 5), ISTR that Goldberg was a pretty badass guy
