Jonathan Sagall (born 1959[citation needed]) is a Canadian/Israeli actor. He was born to Israeli parents in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1962. Several members of his family were survivors of the Holocaust, who then emigrated to Israel, then to Canada. His family didn't stay in Canada for long, then having brief stays in Hollywood and London, before finally moving to Haifa, Israel when Jonathan was eleven years old. At a young age, Jonathan did stagework for local Israeli theaters. At age seventeen, he was granted the role of lady's man Momo (Bobby) in the cult Israeli film, Lemon Popsicle (Eskimo Limon). Lemon Popsicle did tremendously well with later multiple sequels. He is better known to American audiences as Poldek Pfefferberg from Schindler's List, the Polish Jewish black market extaordinaire. He wrote for the Israeli-Palestinian collaboration of Sesame Street. Following two short films, he made his feature debut with Urban Feel (1998).
