Tomer Capone

Tomer Capone’s one of those actors you kinda can’t ignore—he’s got that scruffy charisma and a knack for popping up in shows that blow up way past Israel’s borders. He got his start in Holon, born into a family where business was the thing, not acting. Grew up in Rishon LeZion, did the usual school thing, and then boom, 2004 hits and he’s drafted into the IDF. Not just any gig, either—he got tossed into the 202nd battalion, Paratroopers Brigade, went from being just another guy with a buzzcut to leading a squad. That military edge, you can kinda see it in his roles, honestly. Jump to his acting career—Capone lands major spots in Israeli TV that actually make a splash outside the country. Hostages was one of those tense, edge-of-your-seat thrillers, and then Fauda came along and basically rewrote the playbook for action-dramas. Dude’s not just a pretty face either—he scooped up an Ophir Award for Best Supporting Actor for his part in “One Week and a Day,” so yeah, the critics are into him too. He’s not slowing down. When Heroes Fly was another big one, a wild, emotional ride, and if you’re into streaming, you’ll see him doing his thing in Amazon’s The Boys, where he fits right in with that chaotic, superpowered mess. Capone’s got this raw, understated intensity that just works, whether he’s playing a soldier, a confused son, or a totally unhinged vigilante. Israeli TV exports a lot these days, but Tomer Capone? He’s the real deal—one to keep watching, seriously.
