Itzik Cohen

Born in Tel Aviv, Israel, Israeli actor Itzik Cohen's screen career started in the late 1990s when he began making guest appearances on Israeli television projects, including the TV movie "Shuly's Fiancé" and the mini-series "Short Stories About Love." His first recurring role came on the show "Rosh Gadol." In 2015, Cohen appeared in his first series regular role, on the TV show "Fauda" (Netflix, 2015-). The show, following both sides of an Israeli attempt to track a militant Palestinian, was an international hit, gaining in popularity when Netflix began to play the series on its platform. In 2018, Cohen made his British television debut in a guest role on the series "McMafia" (BBC One, 2018-), a modern story of the Russian mafia in the UK.
