Yuval Segal

Yuval Segal (; born 6 December 1971) is an Israeli actor. Regarded as one of the best performers of his generation in Israel, he is recognized for his versatile work across independent films, television and the stage. In 2003, he earned a Best Actor nomination from the Israeli Academy of Film and Television for his role in Dover Koshashvili's drama film, Matana MiShamayim. He is known to international audiences for his role as Moreno in the thriller series, Fauda.

Early life Segal was born in Afula, Israel, to a Jewish family. During his childhood, his family moved to Kfar Saba. In his youth, he competed in fencing. In July 2014, he began portraying Professor Landau in Metim LeRega.

In 2015, he began playing the role of Moreno, a commander of a Mista'arvim unit, in yes's political thriller television series Fauda. Segal's character was killed off in the second season of the show, a decision that Segal attributed to disagreements he had with first season director, Assaf Bernstein. Liat Benasuly, a Fauda producer, said that the character was instead killed for creative reasons: "There is no connection between the death of Yuval's character and the difficulties he experienced on the set...It is a decision that is rooted in the plot and the script that must be kicking, surprising and original. Yuval Segal is one of the best actors in Israel and we appreciate him for his part in the series."

In 2018, he starred in Avi Nesher's drama film, The Other Story, alongside Sasson Gabai, Nathan Goshen and Joy Rieger.

In 2019, he played Asi in the Reshef Levi-created drama, Nehama on HOT.
