Chaim Topol, the actor best known for playing Tevye in “Fiddler on the Roof,” has died in Israel following “a long illness,” his representative confirmed to CNN Thursday. He was 87.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu paid tribute to Topol on Thursday and conveyed his condolences, calling him a “multi-faceted artist, with great charisma and energy.”

“The story of Haim Topol’s life has been sealed but I am certain that his contribution to Israeli culture will live on for generations,” Netanyahu said in a statement. “He greatly loved the land of Israel, and the people of Israel loved him in return.”


I just went a James Bond marathon a couple months ago, he played Milos Columbo alongside Roger Moore’s in “For Your Eyes Only” (1981).

Here he is tossing Flash Gordon the "Football". R.I.P.
