Wentworth Miller: The Great Uniter

Posted Aug 30th 2007 11:15AM by TMZ Staff

Wentworth MillerAs part of a spread in the latest issue of GQ Germany, Wentworth Miller says "My father is black and my mother is white. Therefore, I could answer to either, which kind of makes me a racial Lone Ranger, at times, caught between two communities." And the "Prison Break" star shall lead them!

But hang on a sec: The quote is four years old and was uttered when Miller played a biracial man in the movie, "The Human Stain." While Miller may not seem to be anything but lily white, his lineage is all over the map; he is of African-American, Jamaican, English, German, Cherokee and Jewish descent on his father's side, and of Russian, French, Dutch, Syrian and Lebanese descent on his mother's side.

What great mystery will we next learn about Wentworth?

4. Well, he is all of the things you say right now. As soon as he is involved in a scandal, he will be black again. Harveystein will make sure of that!

8. #7...I agree 100% but unfortunately race is still a big issue in this country. I wish people would get over it and just look at people as people but you've seen some of the racist comments people post on here. I think its pathetic he has to even bring his race up in an interview.

9. Who cares if he's gay? He's still DEEEElicious!! (You don't have to want to boink a man to be able to appreciate his beauty.) As a multi-racial person myself, I must admit I have a special little place in my heart for my mixed brothers & sisters, and now that I know WM is mixed, too, this just makes him that more gorgeous to me!
