A few no one mentioned:

[MerciZizou]

1) Youri Djorkaeff....French footballer. Played during WC 98 for France. Mother is Armenian. His father Jean played for France in 1966 WC, and coached Armenian national team, even though he's not Armenian.

Djorkaeff has always been very proud of his Armenian heritage. In fact he doesn't say..."I'm half Armenian", I've always heard him say "I'm Armenian".


2) Alain Boghossian....French-Armenian footballer. Also played in WC 98 for France.


3) Michael Vartan....actor. He is Sylvie Vartan's nephew. Born in France, but is of Bulgarian, Armenian, and Hungarian descent.

He was on tv show Alias. Movies: Never been kissed, One hour photo, and Monster-in-Law.

I know none of these guys are 100% Armenian, but still worth mentioning.
