Chaim Topol (1935-2023)


The legendary actor Chaim Topol passes away at age 88, he known for his unforgettable role as Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof. He won two Golden Globes for his role in Salah Shabati and Fiddler on the Roof.

It's sad news for me and many others in Israel and around the world, he was one of my favorite actors, I even meet him few times, maybe the greatest Jewish actor in my opinion.

I saw his photo in trending and I thought, "Hope he didn't die."

R.I.P. Topol Fiddler on the Roof is an outstanding musical. And Tevye was an unforgettable character. My son was only three when he saw this movie (at home). He loved it and made me play the "If I Was a Rich Man" scene over and over. He used to sing it everywhere.

It's as though that role was written just for him.

Fiddler is my alltime favourite film and he was absolutely superb in it. Rest peacefully Mr. Topol. ✡️

William Shatner is the greatest Jewish actor!

He'll always be Zarkov to me since he was one of the best characters in Flash Gordon. He was also pretty cool in For Your Eyes Only.
