Since Ukraine are playing in the World Cup in Germany next month, I wonder if any of there players are Byz Cath ? On the downside, figure skater Oksana Baiul is abandoning Orthodoxy for Judaism.

That is too bad. I remember how impressed I was that she made the sign of the cross when she was competing in the Olympics as a young teenager. Alice

OK, what about Dan Akroyd and Scott Bakula? Reminds me of Dracula.

Always assumed F Murray Abraham was Jewish. Turns out he's Syrian Orthodox, and a former altar boy. Also found out that former NFL QB Jeff George is Greek Orthodox.

Harmonica mentioned John Belushi.
He was burried out of St. Nicholas Albanian Orthodox Church in Chicago (acress from the Brickyard).
His was not an intentional suicide, but the unintentional drug-induced suicide of a fabulously gifted man searching for greater and greater thrills. His widow has published a candid but touching recollection of his life as she knew him.
Then Protopresbyter, now Bishop, Ilia Katre rightly used the eulogy to offer the admonition to all who gamble with God's manifold blessings to 'wise up.'
In Christ,
Andrew Fr. Frank gave an excellent on the Prodigal Son. He said this is why priest do the burials for those who have fallen away. That the Lord our God might have mercy on their souls. So who are we to judge!

Vera Farmiga who starred in The Departed is a Ukrainian Catholic. She even did a Ukrainian dance on Dave Letterman's show a few weeks back. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0267812/

Great topic.
I think Cusack is an Irish name though it sounds Slavic - I'm thinking of the late Irish actor Cyril Cusack. John and Joan could be descendants.
Jack Palance died in the past year and was Ukrainian Catholic. Thanks for the info. Вѣчная память.
I'm not sure Spiro Agnew left Orthodoxy. His father married an Episcopalian and changed the family name from Aganostopoulos so I think Mr Agnew was a born Episcopalian like his mother.

Tige Andrews, born Tiger Androwaous, who starred as Capt. Adam Greer in the late 60's TV show "The Mod Squad," recently feel asleep in the Lord. Eternal memory! One site lists him as Syrian ethnicity; another, Lebanonese. No indication of religious affiliation at time of death that I can find. Showing my age, but "The Mod Squad" was one of my all time favorite shows growing up.

Robert Urich family is from our Church in Ohio. I cannot remember his brother's name right off, but you would recognize him if you are a soap opera fan which I am not. Anyway - he has been an actor on the soaps for decades. Pani Rose, My cousing and +Robert were in the same high school class in Toronto, Ohio (not Canada). As they say, "Ter-ron-na." She knew him quite well. I understand he did come to some of the class reunions. I liked his TV show, "Vegas." Think his character name was Dan Tanna.

What you mean there is another Toronto! What a shock after all these years.
Our Toronto is taken from the Cree (Aboriginal) word meaning "meeting place".
Oh well, I shall have to make a trip to see the Ohio Toronto.

(The only two Catholic Churches in Toronto were both St. Jospehs) One of my dear friends by the last name Gaydos, is his cousin also.
