In the late 1980s he toured the US in a stage revival of "Fiddler on the Roof." Unlike when he made the movie in 1971, he was Tevye's age by this time. The part of wife Golde was played by 'Rosalind Harris' (qv), who had played daughter Tzeitel in the movie.
His daughter, Anat, played the role of "Chava" in a 1995 production of "Fiddler on the Roof" alongside her father.
Has appeared in over 2500 stage performances as Tevye in "Fiddler on the Roof".
Before the 1971 film version, Topol had played Tevye in over 400 performances in London. Since the film's release, he has played the milkman over 2,000 times in places from United States and Canada, to Europe, Japan, and Australia.
First Israeli actor ever to be nominated for an Academy Award.
Was nominated for Broadway's 1991 Tony Award as Best Actor (Musical) for a revival of "Fiddler on the Roof," a role he had previously played twenty years earlier in an Oscar-nominated performance in the film version of the same title, _Fiddler on the Roof (1971)_ (qv).
Father of Omer and actress 'Ady Topol' (qv) and 'Anat Topol' (qv)
