And Jimmy Durante was Catholic. No surprises there, Italian-American of that generation. Chuck Connors of The Rifleman was also Catholic, altar boy in his youth. John Wayne converted when he was near death, and Bob Hope ended up life as a Catholic. It's said that gifting the chapel of Our Lady of Hope to the Basilica Shrine in DC was one of his last jokes (the name, not the chapel). www.nationalshrine.org/interactive-map/?location=im-32

And Mr Spock is both Jewish and possibly Catholic. Leonary Nimoy who played Spock originally was of course Jewish but latest actor to play him is Ethan Peck who is Gregory Peck's grandson. Ethan is also related to a hugely important figure in Irish history Thomas Ashe: Ashe famously died during forced feeding on hunger strike and his death caused huge protests. He is famously one of the few people during the Easter Rising to have won a victory as he defeated a much larger British force.

And Mr Spock is both Jewish and possibly Catholic. Spock's emphasis on logic as opposed to emotion is very similar to Thomas Aquinas. Both share the "civic" as opposed to "prophetic" archetype in Generational Theory.

Spock is the most emotional character in Star Trek. It's just that those emotions are bottled up because his species is naturally very emotional. There were a few scenes in the TOS where for reasons his control over his emotions dropped. One of those saw him throwing Kirk all over the place as Vulcans are several times stronger than humans. It was only his regard for Kirk that stopped him from killing him. Nimoy was a master at conveying hidden emotions. Ethan Peck who is currently portraying Spock is also good at doing this.
