Israeli actor Lior Raz has played his fair share of tough-guy roles.
In the action-packed Netflix series Fauda, Raz draws on his real-life experiences in the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) to play the protagonist, Doron Kavillio.
His commando skills were again on show in the 2021 series Hit & Run, while last year he flexed hard in the Ridley Scott-directed blockbuster Gladiator II, where he played Viggo, who was tasked with training young fighters.
But lately, Raz has revealed a softer side. His emotions were laid bare in the six-part unscripted Netflix travel series, Off Road, that saw him explore not only Central Asia but also his deeper feelings.
The actor also shifted gears in the 2024 drama Soda, one of the features screening at this year’s Hong Kong Jewish Film Festival (HKJFF), taking place from November 8 to 16.
Starring Raz and Israeli actress Rotem Sela, Soda focuses on a community of Holocaust survivors in 1950s Israel that is shaken by rumours that a beautiful new arrival may have been a Nazi collaborator.
