Jonathan Sagall , also Jonathan Segal , Jonathan Sagalle or Yonatan Segal , (born April 23, 1959 in Toronto , Ontario ) is an Israeli actor and filmmaker.

Life

Sagall spent the first years of his life in Canada before immigrating to Israel with his parents in 1970. In German-speaking countries he was best known for his role as the attractive Momo and Bobby in the eight-part erotic comedy " Eis am Stiel ", which was produced between 1977 and 1988 . Since he had a quarrel with the director of the film series, he did not take part in the sixth part (1985).

With his partner Amos Guttman (1954-1993) as a director, he played in 1983 in the film Nagu'a, a gay director in an identity crisis. When the film was to be shown at the World Film Festival in Montreal in 1984 , the Israeli government protested against it on the grounds that it was not representative of the culture of Israel because of the subject matter. He wrote the script for the 1987 film Baba-It , a story of a relationship between two gay writers, which he financed .

In the 1990s, Sagall turned increasingly to the theater and became a permanent member of the Habima National Theater in Tel Aviv . He also wrote and staged his own plays, including Lea Goes out on the Streets (1993) and Cockroach (1994). His short stories Hugo Asparagus , written for the Israeli youth magazine Rosh Ehad , were processed into a script. In the 1993 film drama Schindler's List by Steven Spielberg , he played the Jew Poldek Pfefferberg . Sagall was also a regular screenwriter for the Israeli-Palestinian version of Sesame Street , which first aired in the summer of 1998.

After two short films, he directed the feature film Kesher Ir (international title: Urban Feel ) for the first time in 1998 . He both wrote the script, produced and also starred. The film won a total of four awards, three of them in Israel.

In 2011 he received an invitation to compete at the Berlin International Film Festival for his feature film Lipstikka .
