Misha Collins

Born Dmitri Tippens Krushnic, Misha Collins has certainly embraced a more accessible stage name. His mother is Jewish, making him halachically Jewish, and he has spoken openly about his "sort of Jewish" upbringing and identification, albeit one that was "pretty secular and non-traditional." He even participated in a documentary about Jewish humor, because, of course.

Collins gained widespread recognition for his role as the angel Castiel in the CW series "Supernatural," a character who, much like Collins himself, often found himself navigating the perplexing intricacies of human existence. Beyond the celestial, Collins is also known for his charity work, establishing the Random Acts organization, which encourages people to perform acts of kindness, presumably both random and intentional.

While his on-screen roles might lean towards the fantastical, Collins's off-screen persona is grounded in activism and, yes, a genuine connection to his Jewish roots. He's not just playing an angel; he's practically earned his wings in the kvell department for his good deeds and willingness to embrace his heritage, even if it's a bit unconventional.
