Seth Green Legally Makes Name Less Jewy

Actor Seth Green has legally changed his name to, well, Seth Green. The actor was born Seth Benjamin Gesshel-Green but has been using Seth Green professionally for so long that he decided to make the change official. TMZ already beat me to the “less Jewy name” joke, but it bears repeating. That said, “Natalie Portman” is a lot easier to pronounce than “Natalie Hershlag” and nobody doubts her Tribe bona fides, so as long as Seth doesn’t convert to another faith he’s probably still welcome at the Seder table.
