Is Arliss Howard Jewish

I would certainly (or maybe like to) think that Arliss Howard is jewish. Arliss Howard, whose real name is Leslie Richard Howard, is a popular actor, author, producer and director who was born on October 18, 1954 in Missouri. During his career he obtained the Bronze Wrangler Award, for the several movies he worked for: Awake, Birth, Dandelion, Weapons, You Know My Name, Johns, and The Infiltrators among many others.
