    Shaike Ophir

    Shaike Ophir (1928-1987), the actor whose name the Israeli spelfilm and television awards took in 2004, is no doubt enshrined in the highest echelons of Israeli cinema. When he was only 14, Ophir (born Yeshayahu Goldstein) decided to enlist with the Palmach (an elite, Jewish underground combat unit) where he got to know Haim Hefer and Dahn Ben-Amotz, whose references earned him a prick in the Ohel Theatre’s Acting Studio. When the 1948 War broke out, Ophir joined the Palmach’s Pierrot troupe, The Chizbatron, where he performed with the likes of Naomi Polani, Gideon Singer, and Shlomo Bar-Shavit. In the early 1950s, he went to Paris and studied pantomime beneath Étienne Decroux, later performing with renowned mime, Marcel Marceau.

      Biography

      Shaike Ophir (Hebrew: שייקה אופיר; November 4, 1928 – August 17, 1987) was an Israeli film and theater actor, comedian, playwright, screenwriter, director, and the country's first mime.

      Yeshayahu (Shaike) Goldstein-Ophir was born in Jerusalem. His family was Masortiim, and his Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry in the city goes back to the mid-19th century. He studied acting as an adolescent but left school in the 1940s to enlist in the Palmach. During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War he escorted convoys to the besieged city of Jerusalem and took part in naval battles.

      Thanks to his comic skills he was accepted to the Chezbatron, an army entertainment troupe. In the 1950s, he made a name for himself as a multi-talented performer. He even recorded a few hit songs during this period.

      During the late 1950s and early 1960s Ophir occasionally guest-starred in American TV shows such as Shirley Temple's Storybook and Alfred Hitchcock Presents (in the episode "The Waxwork," where he was bil
