The list is long.

Well, I have noticed that some on the list are Jews whose ancestor's come from Poland. Do they count themselves as Poles?
Maybe they are dumped on a list to make the list longer?WTF?

Well Jesse Eisenberg says he actually sees himself more as Polish than American, he speaks Polish well and is in Poland often. So it all depends on the individual.

According to my sis, Ted Knight would pray to Our Lady of Czestochowska, before participating in screen acting interviews.
