When he was doing his infamous Borat Parody, the Kazakh his character was using was in fact impeccable Hebrew.

Read his biography on Wikipedia. When he was younger, he worked on a Kibutz and joined Habonim Dror and got his start in acting on several drama productions they produced.

M.J. Javani | 6 comments Thank you for this review Samuel. I am looking forward to the future editions of this book, that will hopefully discuss Israel's latest victory. I am referring to the operation in late January of 2018 where the Mossad reportedly hauled off some 50,000 pages and 163 CD's from Iran's nuclear archive in central Tehran. That's definitely a story that deserves to be turned into a novel and a movie!

Oh Stacey....good news. The Eli Cohen biopic has preview images and a release date. Also it turns out that Sacha Baron Cohen is in fact related to Eli Cohen through his dad's side of the family.

Stacey B | 117 comments Samuel-
Thank you so much for sending this.
I really appreciate the gesture.
The fact that the two men are related -is wild. I do not believe in coincidences. :)
Really looking forward to this one.
I enjoyed "Operation:Finale' though I commented on casting parts you sent me before the movie came out.
