Hebrew Speaking Actors

[Dan Cosgrove]

This just in there are celebrities that can speak Hebrew. I remember a few weeks ago in class I joked around that I would never want to watch a movie done in Hebrew because the acting is c Level at best and could never compare to the great acting of Hollywood movies. Now although it is true that the United States does have the best actors in the World, it is not true that a Hebrew film would be that bad to watch because some of the best actors in Hollywood come from a Jewish/Hebrew background.  Barbara Streisand, Harrison Ford, Gwyneth Paltrow, Winona Ryder, Robert Downey Jr., Natalie Portman, and Bar Refaeli all come from a Jewish background where Hebrew is spoken. Natalie Portman and Bar Refaeli still continue to do some interviews in Hebrew to not lose contact with the world they came from.  Both women are extremely attractive and great to watch on the big screen. I became aware of this when I was watching “No Strings Attached” with my girlfriend last week and she mentioned that Natalie Portman spoke fluent Hebrew. After gaining this insight I looked in to other big name actors that were similar to Portman and I was shocked to see such a great list of A list actors in Hollywood. Now I stand corrected from the statement I made two weeks ago in class, I would certainly watch a Hebrew film staring Natalie Portman and Bar Refaeli any day.  The Hebrew world just needs to make it so I can watch it.
