Born: September 9th, 1935 (Palestine)
Died: LIVING
Marriage: Galia Topol
Children: He has three children: Omer, Ady & Anat.
Interesting Fact: He was the first Israeli Actor to be nominated for an Academy Award.
Awards: Out of the seven awards he has been nominated in his life, there was only one that he did not win. The award was his only Oscar nomination in behalf of his performance for "Fiddler on the Roof" (1971).
My Favorite Film: "Fiddler on the Roof" (1971) is my favorite film of his, though I had no idea how many other films he has been in.
Topol has a certain energy and honesty that have rarely been repeated by any other performer. Every time he looked to God in "Fiddler on the Roof" he had a different face, showing to us that a relationship to Him can change even though He doesn't. One of his greatest tricks was how he played a Tevye in his fifties while in his mid-thirties. What a talented Actor on the screen and on the Stage.
He has retired recently from the playing of Tevye and has been doing Hebrew dubbing for recent films like Harry Potter and Jungle Book. It is strange to see him without his beard. Here are some pictures of him in some other films:

| For Your Eyes Only (1981) |

| Flash Gordon (1980) |
This is my all time favorite love song.
