Was George Peppard Polish??

Hi all,

As a young kid, dad and I used to watch the A-Team religiously. Dad used to tell me that George Peppard was of Polish origin (George Paprowski or similar). Seeing Breakfast at Tiffany's the other night (yawn - forced by the missus and daughter) reminded me of him, and what my dad said. I checked online but could find nothing relevant, apart from some random forum where someone mentions he was Polish.

I suppose he kind of looks Polish, but does anyone know? Cheers OD.

No, he was't Polish, and George Peppard is his real birth name. He did play several Polish-American characters though, and received an award from the Polish-American Congress for that. Somebody must have interpreted that as meaning he was Polish-American himself.
