I used to hang out with this kid back in the summer of 1993 before he went to college. He was always trying to convince people he was half-black back then but no one ever believed him. It is interesting that the media buys his wild explanations of his background. He used to readily admit to being of Jewish background although claiming half-black. It's good to see he made it big, he was a nice kid but always a bit wacky and high-strung. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/74.74.231.9|74.74.231.9]] ([[User talk:74.74.231.9|talk]]) 18:51, 22 December 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

::: We should re-word to make it clear that all those ethnicities are ''his'' claim and not something verified by a third party. Also, if there is controversy here, why is it even crucial to bring up these weird ethnic backgrounds? "Syrian" and "Lebanese" aren't ethnicities - they are nationalities. So, we could sum Syrian, Lebanese and Jewish into "Middle-eastern" and "Jamaican" and "Cherokee" could be summed up as Native American. The list does look ridiculous in its present |

His father is black, possibly with the Cherokee and Jamaican mixed in. His mother is white. If you have some agenda for denying that Wentworth Miller is bi-racial, that's your issue. The fact is, that's who he is.

It's just funny that people have a real funny reaction to Miller's "ethnicity" claim. If the guy claims he is black, why in the world should we disclaim that, if he want's to be black then let him be black. And nobody really knows about his racial roots better than him,so let him be people. [[User:Fleurbutterfly|Fleurbutterfly]] 13:42, 22 May 2008 (UTC) |
|||
For goodness sake...!! I´m quite sure Mr.Miller knows the difference between ethnicity and nationality but in the interest of being appealing to the press i think his management might be telling him to add all he possibly can to the long line that currently makes up his "ethnicity" here. Why on earth do people care anyways? |
|||
As for him being "half-black", yes he is. His father is black and thus makes up half of his genepool. Sounds umbelievable that he has had to in the past or that he´d have to now somehow prove anything to anyone! Get a grip people!! |
|||
well his biggest ancestry must be English as his surname is miller which is VERY English Anglo-saxon <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/86.181.82.140|86.181.82.140]] ([[User talk:86.181.82.140|talk]]) 21:05, 16 August 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

I agree it is stupid 'Miller is of multiracial origin: his father is of African-American, Jamaican, English, German, Jewish and Cherokee descent, and his mother is of Russian, French, Dutch, and Lebanese/Syrian ancestry' |
|||
Let's just take his fathers side - |
|||
Say his dad (Grandad) was African American |
|||
*GG Grandma (Cherokee) GG Grandad (Af-Am) |
|||
* | |
|||
*Great Grandad (Jamaican) - Great Grandma (Af-Am)__________________________Great Grandma (German)- Great Grandad (Jewish) |
|||
*|_________________________________________________________________________| |
|||
*Grandad (African American)________________________________________________Grandma (English) |
|||
*| |
|||
*Dad (African American) |
|||
*| |
|||
*Him |
|||
I have made all of that up, but do we really need to go that far back? That was the smallest I could make it without crossing over into nationality. However as you can see with the English Grandma, she would be English by nationality not ancestors. If I were to put an English ancestor in, it would push it even further back. |
|||
My great great family were Irish with the surname O'Toole (very Irish), however I don't quote this. Plus my friend's granddad was Dutch and she doesn't see that of any importance. I think it is a bit ridiculous [[Special:Contributions/94.168.41.206|94.168.41.206]] ([[User talk:94.168.41.206|talk]]) 22:18, 13 September 2010 (UTC) |

Given that he has stated (and quoted in this article) that he could identity whatever racial side he chooses, that would seem to indicate he ''does not'' identity explicitly as "African-American" or "black." Is it fair to categorize him in African-American and black categories then? -- [[User:Erroneuz1|Erroneuz1]] ([[User talk:Erroneuz1|talk]]) 01:26, 25 August 2013 (UTC) |

== Controversy with Cornel West == |
|||
I am troubled that there is no citation, verification, or source reference for these allegations ''"Despite his racial background, Miller was considered a campus racist. Furthermore, like Coleman Silk, Miller refrained from revealing his reasons behind his action." |
|||
'' |
|||
What exactly constitutes being 'considered a campus racist'? Who said this? What's their basis for saying so? What kind of verifiable source could confirm that this is a general consensus view? |
|||
Further, conflating Miller with a character he played is sloppy, and again, not referenced. |
|||

==Ethnicity categories== |

Could people watch this page to make sure that ethnicity categories don't begin to get added here? If we were to go full circle and add a category for every one of his great-grandparents, and thus outnumber the regular categories, we would quite perfectly illustrate the silliniess resulting from certain people who go about adding these. I.e. a German-American has always been a person who is actually American and German in some meaning ful sense, not simply an American with a drop of German blood.

:An anonymous user keeps replacing "Jewish" with "part Cherokee" in Wentworth's ancestral background. Upon googling "+wentworth.miller +cherokee", I've found tons of blog posts claiming that he is part Cherokee, but I haven't been able to find any reliable sources for this claim. However, the article in ''The New Yorker'' (see [http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:3wtI-vs2gpEJ:www.newyorker.com/talk/content/031110ta_talk_paumgarten+%2Bwentworth.miller+%2Bjewish&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=3 the Google-cached version], since it appears the article has dropped out of the website's archive) does state the Jewish background. |

::Speaking of which, the article now says "In October, 2006, Wentworth Miller was interviewed by a German journalist, and said that his surname (Miller) happens to be "Müller" in German, which probably came from his German Jewish grandfather".

I used to hang out with this kid in the summer of 1993 before he went to college, and he was always trying to claim half-black but no one took him seriously about this before he was famous. He would also readily admit to being of Jewish background and religion while claiming to be half-black at the same time. There are some negroid racial strains evident in East European Jewish family trees, look at Rabbi Avraham Kook for example. C. Wentworth was just a regular Jewish kid from Brooklyn trying to distinguish himself as different from his peers.

== Sourcing == |
|||
Regarding the reversion of the nickname "Stinky" without a source, the guideline for biographies is that any controversial or negative comments should be sourced or removed. A claim that he attended such-and-such high school is not controversial or negative, so although a citation would certainly improve the article, the lack of a citation is not enough to warrant reversion. However, a nickname of "Stinky" could certainly be considered negative; thus, a source is required to keep it in the article. It appears that a source has now been added, which is satisfactory. --[[User:Psiphiorg|Psiphiorg]] 09:16, 6 December 2006 (UTC) |

Okay, it's very obvious to me that there is some person out there with some claimed long-ago association with Wentworth Miller, which cannot be verified, and a huge grudge against him. This grudge takes the form of repeatedly insinuating that Miller lies about being half-black with a mixed ethnic background. First of all, prove your case. Second, take your grudge elsewhere. Third, there ought to be some way of kicking people off Wikipedia for destructive behaviour like this.

It's not that complicated tbh. If in any way you can be described as Jewish, then you're Jewish. Wikipedia categories do not resemble the real world in this respect, they resemble frat houses which everyone would like the cool kids to join.

Of course he can be Black Jewish. If you are 'Jewish' because your great-grandfather was Jewish, and 'black' because your father was black (more plausibly) then well, this is a necessary consequence. Evidently one can be Black Jewish. It comes from flipping around whether Jewish is a religion or an ethnicity. Was his great-grandfather a convert or ethnically Jewish? Who knows...

Since Miller has a relatively short career, ''Prison Break'' being his most prominent role to date, the areas of expansion are relatively slim at the moment. I believe this would change as his career progresses. Still following things can still be covered at the moment. |
|||
# A table that lists his work in chronological order. IMDb could be a good source for that. |
|||
# Considering that Michael Scofield is his most prominent role to date, see if you can get details on how he got the role, critical reception etc. [[Prison Break]] article could be of help here. |

# Details on early life and education. His education details entered here need citing. |

Shouldn't there be at least a mention of the rumors and his denials; it seems like a glaring omission seeing as how persistently he is dogged by these rumors. Isn’t an actor’s relationship with the media in general relevant to their fame? Its not like actors become famous for clear cut reasons. The rumors are arguably a large part of his notoriety and celebrity and seem to have a part in his more recent burst of popularity. |

It's not that much of a cache and I say this from 34 years of experience. What would be the point in making this up? Are people really that fond of people who are of multi-racial? If so, I didn't get that damn memo. Oh, and I know this may be a revelation to someone who actually typed out the the words "Any Photos Out There Of His Daddy Proving He's Black?", but sometimes biracial people don't "look" a certain way. Genetics are funny like that because they, unlike narrow minded people, really don't give two squirts about making a person's skin dark so they can be easily identified by people who are race obsessed. Have you really never heard of the multitude of films and books that feature biracial people who have passed for white? ''[[Pinky (film)|Pinky]]''? ''[[Alex Haley's Queen]]''?

A few years ago in an interview, he was asked if he was gay, and he said that he was not in very clear phrasing. Shouldn't this information also go with the current up date? -- [[User:Erroneuz1|Erroneuz1]] ([[User talk:Erroneuz1|talk]]) 23:05, 22 August 2013 (UTC) |

Please read [[WP:OVERCAT]] cuz it was getting a little silly. You just dont become African American just because you say so, or have some 2% African American blood. Same is true for all the other wonderful cats like Native American. Nonsense. Hollywood actors are known to be EVERYTHING to draw attention to their global appeal, not serious.

Ha ha, both of you are wrong. The link listed above for full geneology (http://ethnicelebs.com/wentworth-miller) actually has FULL details on grandparents and great-grandparents, with Census citations of race. Read and learn something. For the life of me I cannot imagine why people have such a hateful attitude towards Wentworth Miller's heritage. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/96.69.165.201|96.69.165.201]] ([[User talk:96.69.165.201#top|talk]]) 23:57, 23 February 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Wasn't Wentworth Miller in Dinotopia as David?

::According to [http://www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2013/08/yes-the-newly-out-wentworth-miller-is-british this], he holds dual British-American citizenship, so British-American would be correct. [[User:Bennv3771|Bennv3771]] ([[User talk:Bennv3771|talk]]) 04:59, 5 April 2017 (UTC) |
