Nehemiah Persoff – 101
The retired American actor Nehemiah Persoff was born in Jerusalem in 1919 and moved to the United States in 1929. And if all of this sounds like it happened 100 years ago, that’s because it did! In 2021, the An American Tail, The Wrong Man, and Twins actor has remarkably celebrated his 101st birthday.
Persoff retired from the screen almost 20 years ago to focus on painting. His last acting gig was a brief appearance in the 2003 mini-series Angels in America. In 2021, the centenarian will appear as one of the interviewees in the upcoming documentary Boris Karloff: The Man Behind the Monster.
