How common is this name within a non-hispanic family? Honest question, not trolling.
He also plays a character on "Orange is the new black" who's name is George Mendez.
I know us Hispanics fit into all ethnicities, so my question isn't about his race, color, features...

shareHis parents named him to honor Pablo Neruda, the Chilean poet.
shareThanks, good to know.
shareWow, this actor is captivating! I have seen him in five separate roles now, and believe me, he has actually believably PORTRAYED five separate characters! It's not that often, that someone is not typecast into a type of role after that.
There is something different, that he brings to each performance. I cannot wait to see where he appears next. May his star burn brighter and brighter, in the years to come!
History conclusively details Spanish conquests in the Americas during the 16th - 18th century. As a result, Spanish blood runs throughout North, Central, and South America. I'm confused by your comment and what, if any, point you're making.
Some movies are released; others sneak out.
"Pablo" is the Spanish-European version of the name "Paul".
Therefore even though it's a common name amongst Latino men, it's roots are strictly European.
Which is why I get annoyed whenever someone claims that his first name "sounds too Mexican". . .
In any case, what rule says that a persons ethnicity has to match the origins of their birth name. . .? It's a common practice, but not mandatory.
Totally with you on that!
You'd never hear people ask why Philip Seymour Hoffman wasn't Greek :P
People are funny, lol.

Huh? Since when is "Hoffman" a Greek name?
