THIS JUST IN: Glee (and former True Blood) star confirms his ethnicity
Patrick Gallagher sent me an email to confirm that he is indeed of Chinese and Irish-American descent. Woot!
Unique info to this site is Gallagher’s reveal that his mother is Chinese, but Jakarta-born (economic prosperity lured the Chinese to migrate to Indonesia); his father is Irish-American, hence his last name; he is of dual Canadian and U.S. Citizenship.
There it is people. The winning answers to Trivial Pursuit, Glee (no it’s not a real game…yet) You heard it here first.
Thanks for the email Patrick Gallagher! U ROCK DUDE!
