Never revealed. There was a document or a plaque or something the showed "Dr. R. Quincy" in one episode, but that's as far as they got.
shareMy guess as a 2nd Generation American Jew his name could be Stanley, Morty, Irving, Gus, Moe, Larry, or Sydney
shareHe was Jewish? I guess I never thought either way.
shareWell if he was Jewish and the plague had and "R" on it for his first initial... I'm putting my money on Reuben as his first name as its probably the most western sounding Jewish name that starts with an "R" for a boy.
shareI know an orthodox Jew named Reuven. I believe that is probably the Hebrew version of Reuben?
shareIt is interesting. IMDB says Jack Klugman was Jewish. Yet I saw him doing advertisements for Philly Cheese Steaks. Though some tour guide in Philly told me Cheeze Whiz has no dairy in it whatsoever, making cheese steaks kosher (enough).
shareYour tour guide was lying to you, just look the can of Cheese Whiz when you see it in the store the ingredients have whey and milk as the two main ingredients and both are dairy.
As for Klugman doing an ad for Philly Cheese Steaks... well you can find all different types of Jews, some are hardcore and some aren't. My old room mate in college was Jewish and at the time Oreos were still made with lard.. he didn't care and admitted he wasn't supposed to eat them but he love the damn things. Of course the other explanation is that for the right price he was willing to do an ad for the sandwiches even if he didn't eat them himself.
I have seen a relative's (Jewish) wife now and then (but rarely) eat bacon.
And as for the tour guide, I noticed that too.
Maybe Cheez Whiz used to be dairy free.
Or maybe he was just stupid and all he cared about was the Eagles.
Cheez Whiz has always had dairy in it. It would have been much more expensive in the past to have used artificial ingredients to replicate the whey and milk, just look at the price of any fake milk in the grocery store today it isn't cheaper its always more expensive and has been that way forever, its also a reason you alway dread it if your baby requires the soy based formula instead of the normal formula it cost a shit load more.
I know there were people I knew in college that swore Cheez Whiz and Kraft American Cheese wasn't really cheese, that they were both just fake. They were those pompous douches that though cheese had to come from a deli and cost 3 times as much as stuff in a grocery store to be real. That's the way myths like no dairy in Cheez Whiz probably started and the tour guide just heard it somewhere and decided it must be true instead of bothering to verify what he heard.
They probably didn't make a connection between eating some beef with cheese and boiling a calf in its mother's milk.
shareI had a co-worker who was Jewish who would eat non-kosher food if someone brought it in. She would say a prayer in Hebrew before consuming it.
I don't know what the prayer was, or the content of it. If anyone knows about this I would be curious to learn.
It really just depends on how hardcore you are, I knew one guy in college that would have starved before eating anything that wasn't kosher... but as you saw some are not that committed.
shareJust because he did ads for Philly Cheese Steaks didn't mean that he was eating them himself! Maybe he was just getting the word out to all the Gentiles in the world.
shareSearching around it says his name was never given except for Dr. R. Quincy.
Probably Robert or Richard ... Ralph. Ronan, Rupert, Ringo. Could be Rumplestiltskin?
Whenever someone says "Jehosophat" it turns us elves into mice, and we can be brough back only when someone says Rumplestiltskin
