Line 45:
** This would make the very dark-skinned Wayne Brady's character half-white.
* A classic example is ''[[Kung Fu]]'', where the son of a Chinese mother and white American father is played by David Carradine. He was originally planned to be full Chinese and played by [[Bruce Lee]], but [[Executive Meddling|the suits]] didn't think the audience could relate to an Asian actor.
* In season 7 of ''[[That '70s Show]]'' it was revealed that Hyde's real father is a black man. Hyde was played by the completely white Danny Masterson (although the character ''did'' have extremely curly hair). This was [[Played for Laughs]].
* Ben Vereen played the half-white son of a slave and her master in Roots. He was one of the darkest-skinned people in the whole production and was significantly darker than even his mother.
* On ''[[The Jeffersons]]'', Tom and Helen Willis were an interracial couple who had two children. Their daughter Jenny, who was often shown, looked like a typical African-American. But in a [[Very Special Episode]], Jenny's brother came to visit, and he was played by an obviously non-mixed-race white actor.
