That has got to be the ticket right there. Similar bone structure of the face too.
Bjork, who many people confuse for Asian, is probably also of this ancestry.

I have no idea about Bjork ( though it has been speculated before ), but notoriously squinty-eyed actress Renee Zellweger is apparently of Norwegian Sami descent on her mother’s side.
So, you’re saying there’s a Mongolian in the woodpile, eh? 
Very disorienting.
Yeah, but he was turning Japanese at the time of his death.
Thread over, we have a winner!
…especially since he died before his wikipedia article was written.
Here’s a link to that article on his genealogy.
Can’t conveniently link on mobile, but I’ve always wondered about First Sea Lord Jackie Fisher. Looking at pictures a century old, there’s no way that guy wasn’t half Asian. Any Brits know who I’m talking about?
He also played Dr. Yogami (clearly supposed to be Japanese) in the 1935 movie Werewolf of London
He also played a slew of Asian characters, as seen in his iMDB rentry. But also a lot of Russian roles, which is telling – that same look can be classified as “Russian”, too:
I almost never think of WC Fields’ “Ethiopian in the fuel supply” remark.
The Tilly sisters, Meg and Jennifer, are half Asian.
bump-worthy post.
here in the Philippines, both men and women say he had the sexiest voice of all hollywood actors (referring to the Carlsberg commercial.) i guess that’s a plus for the asian theory.
It was completely occidental, I assure you! ![]()
I looked him up…he absolutely looks Asian. Very interesting looking guy. Very interesting guy in general. (He actually coined the acronym “OMG”, believe it or not.)
Here is his photo. Very handsome facial proportions, in my opinion - although he refers to himself as “ugly,” I think he he is being uncharitable. But he certainly does not look like he is of 100% European ancestry. He looks at least 1/4 Asian.
Like I said before, it’s all about the eyelids. The eyelids are foldy on top, but he doesn’t have epicanthic folds at the nose.
He looks completely Anglo to me.
Jennifer’s boobs must be the other half.
Actually, he reminds me of Bud Cort, who is another very mysterious-looking person. He, too, looks like he might be part Asian in some small proportion, possibly Japanese.
Me too. I’m not sure where people are getting Asian from the photos posted in this thread.
Jackie Fisher as a young man. He looks like an Asian (Malay) version of Bud Cort (Harold and Maude.)
Jackie Fisher as an old man. Everything about him looks exotic - his lips, his nose, his eyes. I can’t see how anyone could look at this guy and say “he looks Anglo.”
This is what “Anglo” looks like.
I think that the two actually look a bit similar, particularly if you look at some of the photos of Rhodes on his wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecil_Rhodes.
