Chaim Topol, the actor best known for playing Tevye in “Fiddler on the Roof,” has died, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced. He was 87. Netanyahu paid tribute to Topol on Thursday and conveyed his condolences, calling him a “multi-faceted artist, with great charisma and energy.” “Sadly, the fiddler on the roof is no longer with us. The strings of the fiddle have fallen silent.
Although Topol is recognized for his acclaimed part in a musical, music was like “organized noise” for the actor-singer, who said he couldn’t play an instrument or read music. “I actually was deprived of music until the age of 12,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs in 1983. “We didn’t have a radio in the house.” Before the big screen foray as Tevye, Topol said he had temporarily filled in the role on stage in Tel Aviv, and was later asked to play the part in London’s West End.
