Not a Jew. Thanks again, Michael from Hartford. Chris claimed his mother was Jewish on the Howard Stern Show, but, as this website says, the mother is "English, French Canadian, and German". Ancestry doesn't show anything Jewish, either.

I recently browsed a book about Russian artists in America... Perhaps they should have renamed it Russian JEWISH artists in America, it would be as applicable.
