[edit] Greek?

Beside the obvious, is there an actual good source that says he's Greek? (and I don't mean IMDB) JackO'Lantern 06:56, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

He was given the character of George Papadopoulos on Webster (TV series) because of his Greek origins. He is also featured in the DVD Greek Americans and yes he gives an interview, not just "mentioned", in the documentary.[1][2] Mallaccaos, April 14, 2006

Karras's autobiography ("Big Guys Don't Cry") went extensively into his Greek heritage. I believe he is second-generation. 64.65.160.35 15:58, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More needs to be said about his role in Webster

I saw where Webster was mentioned in the introductory paragraph; however, there is nothing - nothing at all - in the Acting Career template about his role in Webster. That was his signature role as an actor. This is like leaving Fonzi out of Henry Winkler's bio.--Hokeman 01:19, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
