| Or do they just guess by stereotypical mannerisms? | |

| No, not really - though certain cultural references sometimes are shared in conversation - like "what did you do over Christmas?" "Oh, you mean Chanukah, sorry, me too!" | |

| Sometimes last names are a hint, though I think they might go astray with Whoopi Goldberg! | |

| None of a director's business what an actor did over Christmas? Are you really suggesting that only people who celebrate Hanukkah can play Jewish characters? | |

| Not at all. Just in conversation one can sometimes glean things about a person -- their significant other, what holiday is appropriate to wish them, any children, age, etc. which may, may, factor at some point into a casting situation, possibly for a future show. | |

| No hateful intention. Just observation - the same way people try to find out your age by asking when you graduated from school or, in a more roundabout way, did you go to such school with so and so (whose age they may know). | |
