Jonathan started his
career in New York, studying film at The
School of Visual Arts. He moved to Los
Angeles in 1999, and started to explore
his acting skills in a variety of
styles, including: film, improv, and
theatre. He joined The "Lee Strasberg
Acting Institute" in 2002. Upon
graduation, Jonathan wrote, directed and
produced, two theatre plays and a TV
pilot.
His first play - "Flashing back", was a
unique comedy which constantly goes
backwards in time. This was a brave
attempt and first of its kind, to bring
a new kind of genre on stage.
Then came "The Palestinian Connection".
Which was produced in L.A. in winter of
2003. The play was a major breakthrough.
It received great reviews in major
trades. Jonathan played a hothead
Israeli corrupted cop who took matter to
his own hands by kidnapping and
torturing a Palestinian militant.
Two years later Jonathan wrote a TV
Pilot called "Jew Tales", a story about
a dysfunctional Jewish family in
Brooklyn. Jonathan played an
alcoholic family therapist who's
watching his own marriage collapse while
trying to save everyone else's.
In 2005 Jonathan co-stared in Steven
Spielberg's action thriller "Munich".
Jonathan played the real life character
of Gad Tsabari, one of the only two
athletes who managed to run away from
the 1972 Israeli Olympic team
massacre.
Jonathan is now producing his latest
screenplay "American Girls", a daring
teenage comedy about three young
teenage girls in their High school
senior year, who vowed to lose their
virginity by prom night. Guys would say
that it is easier to be a woman when it
comes to sex, but not in our hero's'
case. Naomi, Nicole, Jennifer and Rachel
are probably the only girls in their
high school to be known as virgins. It's
not that there's something wrong with
them, it's simply because they are
extremely unlucky when it comes to boys..
