Gabriel Mann is an American actor. His parents are Alice Jo (née Amis), an attorney, and Stephen Smith Mick, a sociology professor. He also has a sister, Alexandra Mann, who is an actress.
Gabriel has English ancestry on at least his mother’s side. His maternal great-grandfather had the surname “Mann”, possibly indicating German ancestry. Gabriel’s sister stated in an interview that one of their great-grandmothers was a Cherokee Native American. Both of Gabriel’s maternal great-grandmothers are listed as “white” on United States Censuses, although it is possible that this Cherokee Native American ancestry comes from Gabriel’s father’s side.
Gabriel’s maternal grandparents were William “Bill” Lewis Amis (the son of Lewis Amis, Jr. and Amy Webb Smith) and Grace Elizabeth Mann (the daughter of Samuel S. Mann and Magnolia Watson). William was born in Arkansas. Grace was born in North Carolina.
