Assi Cohen
Assi Cohen (Hebrew: אסי כהן; born 10 October 1974) is an Israeli comedian and actor. He is best known for his appearances in the feature film Colombian Love (alongside Mili Avital), as well as for television performances in Love Hurts (alongside Dana Modan), "Rak BeYsrael" with his comedy duo of "Assi and Guri", his role in Mesudarim (US title Loaded), and for his part in Eretz Nehederet, where he has impersonated Avigdor Lieberman, Raleb Majadele, and Uri Geller among others.
In a Ynet poll conducted in May 2008, Assi Cohen was selected by respondents as the funniest Israeli for the second year in a row. He currently resides in Tel Aviv and is married with two daughters.
Cohen was born in Israel, to a Sephardic Jewish family from Turkey and Egypt, and raised and educated in the coastal city of Ashdod. During his military service he was an actor for the Israel Defense Forces' theatre, members of which are soldiers on active duty. Following his military service he worked as a stand up comic at the Domino Gross club in Tel Aviv, where he partnered with fellow comedian Guri Alfi to create the comedy duo of "Assi and Guri".
From 1999 onward he worked as a comedian and joined the TV show Domino, which aired on the commercial Channel 2 in Israel. The show, a follow-up to the highly successful Platfus, was a second television production from the Domino Gross. Participants (such as Adir Miller, Rotem Aboav, Roi Bar-Natan and Guri Alfi) were comedians who appeared regularly at the club. Assi Cohen and Guri Alfi continued to tour the country as "Assi and Guri". They created, among others, favourite characters such as David (Cohen) and Tikva (Alfi), a disgruntled married couple, and Coco (Cohen) and Steve (Alfi), a singer and keyboard player duo singing satirical songs inspired by Mizrahi music.
In 2001, alongside his duo performances, Assi played in the TV drama Star Shining above the Heart (Hebrew: כוכב זורח מעל הלב) alongside Dana Ivgi, Irit Sheleg, and Ilana Berkowitz.
In 2002 he joined the show "Rak BeYsrael" (Channel 2) (Hebrew: רק בישראל, lit. Only in Israel) alongside Guri Alfi as side-kicks to main characters "Limor" (Orna Banai) and "Shimon" (Erez Tal). That same year, he and Guri Alfi created a comedy show called "Shidurei Hamahapeha" (Channel 2) (Hebrew: שידורי המהפכה, literally The revolution's broadcasts) and participated in the controversial film Yossi & Jagger, which portrayed a homosexual relationship between a soldier (played by Yehuda Levi) and his commander (Ohad Knoller). He later participated in the comedy show "We Won't Stop Laughing" alongside Guri Alfi, Rotem Aboav, Eli Finish, and Mariano Idelman.
In 2003 he acted in the film Bonjour Monsieur Shlomi (Also: Ha-Kochavim Shel Shlomi). The same year he and Alfi broke up their comedy duo and Cohen married Lian Friedman.
In 2004 Cohen returned to television in the comedy show Eifo Ata Chai?! (Hebrew: איפה אתה חי?!, lit. Where have you been living?!) alongside Erez Tal, Shlomo Bar-Aba, and Hadar Levi. He played several characters such as Coco the Mizrahi singer, and Himri the healer. That year he also starred in the film Colombian Love (with Mili Avital, Menashe Noi and others) as a newly married husband whose father insists he divorce his bride. Also in 2004, Cohen played alongside Dana Modan in the Israeli Emmy Award-winning television drama, Love Hurts (Hebrew: אהבה זה כואב).
