November 22, 1973) is an Israeli film and television actor.He was born
in Ramat Gan, Israel, to a Jewish family. He spent his childhood
between Israel and Canada because of his parents' jewelry business.
From a young age he was interested in performing arts. He has said
that "My will to be an actor is the only thing that I completely
understood in my life. I didn't know anything about anything, but I
just knew from a very young age that this is what I am going to do."
Since Golan grew up in Canada, he said that he feels very comfortable
speaking English and that the language gives him a sense of freedom to
show his comic side.Golan attended Telma Yalin Arts High School in
Givatayim. In 1990, he got his first cinematic role at the age of 17
in the film '×"רך ×"× ×©×¨â€Ž' (The Eagle's Path) that was directed
by Uri Barbash and starring Gidi Gov, Eli Danker and Nurit Galron. He
stated that 'This film has shaped my awareness about being an actor.
From the moment that I participated in this movie, I understood that
this is me and this is my place'. He also appeared in Amos Guttman's
Amazing Grace (1992) and in '×ž× ×ª יתר‎' (Overdose).Golan served
in the IDF in the military theater. After his military service, he
attended the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. Regarding his
time in the academy, Golan said that even though he knew English, it
took him a couple of months to get used to learning plays by William
Shakespeare but after that time period he started to dream in
Shakespeare's language. In 1996, Golan starred in the Ken
Russell-directed TV film Mindbender, a Uri Geller biopic. Later on he
appeared in the films Operation YY (2000), Six Million Fragments
(2000), Rashevsky's Tango (2003) and Love Life (2007). Golan also
appeared in minor roles in a number of American films shot in Israel.
In 2011, in the film '×¢×" סוף ×"קיץ‎' (By Summer's End), he
played a father who returns to his family for a visit after abandoning
them. A year later he co-starred in the provocative film '×"× ×•×ª×
ת‎' (The Slut). His first appearance in a television series was in
Fool's gold (1994) , later he appeared on Siton (1995), and in 1999's
'×˜×™×¨×•× ×•×ªâ€Ž' (Recruit Training), he portrayed Tomer, a new
Israeli soldier who falls in love with Officer Jenia. The role on that
show is what convinced Golan to return to Israel after Uri Barbash
called to Golan which was still in London during that time and offered
him to come back to Israel to play on the show. Golan stated that he
remembers that after the phone call ended, he was so happy and full of
joy that Barbash was saving him from the desperation that he was
experiencing during that time as an actor in his first phases on his
career in the acting industry of London.
