@CTLawyer, he was very proud of his Italian heritage he just DISPISED certain Italians who were jerks like Cuomo and Florio.
As to his stage name just about all the people in show biz used stage names, Sholmo Karkovsky was Steven Hill, Benjamin Kubelsky was Jack Benny, Allen Koiengsburg is Wood Allen, Lawrence Harvey Zeiger is Larry King, does that make them self hating Jews because they use a stage name? No [ with possible exception of Woody Allen].
