Biography

Lior Ashkenazi was born in Ramat Gan, Israel, and grew up in the Neveh Yehoshua neighborhood. His parents are Sephardic Jews from Turkey who immigrated to Israel in 1964.[2] His father, Shmuel, worked as a printer. His mother, Victoria, was a housewife. His parents spoke Ladino at home, and it was his first language. At the age of 16, in the wake of problems in school, he moved to Kibbutz Regavim.[3]

Ashkenazi served as a paratrooper in the Israel Defense Forces, and was stationed in the Israeli-occupied West Bank during the First Intifada.[4]

He also appeared with the Cameri Theater in Tel Aviv, although Beit Lessin remained his home base.[3] His breakout role came in Late Marriage alongside Ronit Elkabetz in 2001.[4]

In 2016 he appeared alongside Richard Gere in the political drama, Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer.[5] Ashkenazi won an Ophir Award for Best Lead Actor[6] for his performance in the 2017 film, Foxtrot, Israel's entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 90th Academy Awards.[7]

In November 2018 Ashkenazi appeared in Shakespeare's The Tempest, a joint production between the Old Globe Theatre and the Los Angeles Philharmonic.[8]
