Biography
[edit | edit source]Yuval Semo was born in Haifa in 1969. His military service was in the Ordnance Corps, after which he worked at a variety of occupations for a variety of employers including the Israel Electric Corporation, L'Oréal, a garage, catering, newspaper delivery and construction. During this period, Semo attended the acting school, "Beit Zvi".[1]
He began his acting career as part of the "Prozac Trio" (שלישיית פרוזאק) with whom he participated in many Israeli TV shows such as "Eretz Nehederet", "Ha-Retzu'a","Ha-Chaim Ze Lo Hacol", "Shidurey HaMahapecha", "Domino", "Naor's Friends" and "HaPijamot".
