Niv Sultan and Maor Shvitzer Star Together in 'Good Boys 3'
Israeli actors Niv Sultan and Maor Shvitzer, a married couple and parents to a toddler, are co-starring as a married couple for the first time in the third installment of the popular film series 'Good Boys.' The couple, who married in 2022, have both enjoyed successful acting careers. Sultan gained international recognition for her role as Mossad agent Tamar in the series 'Tehran' and has appeared in other shows like 'Yesh Li Otah' and 'Boged.' Shvitzer has starred in successful Israeli series such as 'Sh'at Ne'ila,' 'HaShoterim,' and 'Shamayim Adumim.'
Filming the movie while raising their young son, Neta, required significant family support. Sultan and Shvitzer shared that an entire "family tribe," including grandparents and aunts and uncles, pitched in to help care for their child during the demanding production schedule. The actors found that working together on set also provided a rare opportunity for quality time as a couple.
Despite their personal relationship, sources on set noted their high level of professionalism, treating each other strictly as colleagues during work hours. Shvitzer publicly praised Sultan, calling her "the best actress in the country." The film's plot continues the themes of matchmaking within the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) community, exploring the conflict between personal desires and societal expectations. This installment also shifts part of its setting to New York and questions whether love can be bought with money. Shvitzer's character receives a significant opportunity in the U.S., acting alongside international actor Michael Rapaport, while romantic complications begin to unfold back in Israel.
