Israeli actor and pilot Guy Kapulnik, 46, died last Thursday in a light aircraft crash in California. Also killed in the accident was Taylor Laskey, 33. Kapulnik, who had moved from Israel to the United States to pursue his acting career, lived in Los Angeles and appeared in film, television, and theater productions. He was a graduate of the Nissan Nativ Acting Studio in Jerusalem and held a degree in information systems from the Technion.

In recent years, Kapulnik developed a passion for aviation. He trained as a pilot in California, became a certified flight instructor, and guided numerous students. Following his death, his students and friends shared tributes, remembering him as a beloved individual and an impactful instructor.

Kapulnik's family stated that alongside his acting, his profound love for aviation became a central part of his life in recent years. They noted that his students described him not only as someone who taught them to fly but also to love aviation. The family remembered Guy as a man of action, curiosity, and adventure, who navigated between the stage, screen, sea, and sky, always daring to forge new paths.
