5. Mark-Paul Gosselaar

The Franklin and Bash actor was born in Panaroma City, California. His Dutch father is of German and Dutch Jewish descent. Gosselaar’s paternal great-grandparents, Hertog and Hester Gosselaar, were killed at the Sobibor extermination camp during the Holocaust. His mother, who is of Indonesian and Dutch descent, is from Bali, Indonesia. Gosselaar’s Dutch heritage is obvious through his hair color and skin tone, but he’s technically one-quarter Asian.
