Nordic-Americans; Pictures of Americans with ancestry from Nordic countries

Actress Christine Lahti is Finnish-American from her father's side:

Dana Elcar (known for tv-show McGyver) has Norwegian ancestry. He's first name is btw Ibsen.

William Petersen (C.S.I.) has Danish ancestry. He's from Illinois. I think his very stereotypically Danish-looking:

Swedish-Americans are the easiest group, since there are plenty of them. Sweden beeing the biggest Nordic country afterall. Steven Soderbergh has Swedish grandfather:

Icelandic-Americans are the most difficult to find, since there aren't too many of them. All I could come up with was actor Gunnar Hansen, who was born in Iceland, but moved to USA as a child:

Uma Thurman (Swedish/German mother)

Hayden Christensen (Danish father, half Swedish mother)

immy Fallon's wife Nancy Juvonen (Finnish descent), btw she looks extremely white American to me. Must be the hair and her white, wide smile.

Robert Englund, He is of part Swedish ancestry, and can speak Swedish fairly well.
