Our very own Yigal Naor will soon find himself rubbing shoulders with Oscar winners Meryl Streep and Reese Witherspoon on the set of the new American film, “Rendition” under Oscar winning director Gavin Hood. What an awesome opportunity to boost his international career!

Yigal got his first Hollywood big studio cred in Spielberg’s “Munich”, also where Hood spotted the talented actor. “Renditions” high profile cast is set to start shooting in a few weeks in Morocco. Yigal has been cast to play the role of a secret police chief in charge of interrogating a foreign citizen in an Arab country. The movie is billed as a political thriller whose multilayered story centers on a CIA analyst based in Cairo who finds his world spinning out of control after he witnesses the interrogation of a foreign national by the Egyptian secret police.

Naor’s international career includes appearances in the French television series Djihad. But apart from roles in the film industry, he is also a must see stage actor. At the moment he is appearing in two major roles in Habimah stage productions, in “Antigone” as King Creon in a production with the Cameri Theater and in “Nudnik”.

Naor has made it to the big studios! We just hope the film doesn’t suck.
