Liad Ktorza, son of comedian Israel Ktorza, has been cast in his first major film role in the upcoming military comedy "The Good Ones." Ktorza, who recently completed his military service in the IDF, will portray 18-year-old pilot trainee Yurai, a character who benefits from connections despite lacking standout skills. The film, directed by Alon Gur Aryeh and produced by United King, follows a group of unlikely candidates in a flight course as part of a social experiment.
Shahar Hason stars as a schemer who gets a chance to avoid military prison by joining the course. The ensemble cast also includes Michelle Prot, Yael Elkana, Avraham Arneson, and Maor Schwitzer. Content creator Kim Tsurilov will make her acting debut as a flight trainee, and stand-up comedian Uri Breier has also joined the cast.
Ktorza has prior television experience, appearing alongside his father in "Ma She'ba?", starring in three seasons of "Shali HaKoveshit," and joining "United High." He previously told "Yedioth Ahronoth" that his father assists with his auditions and is very supportive, while also stating he is unfazed by suggestions his success is due to his family name.
Beyond acting, Ktorza is pursuing music, writing, composing, and playing guitar, while also studying piano and vocal training. He shared that a song he wrote after the October 7th events brought his father to tears. Singer Eliad Nachum, a family friend, provides feedback on his musical creations.
"The Good Ones" was initially presented as a project at the Haifa Film Festival pitching competition in September 2020. Production is reportedly preparing to begin filming, though a release date has not yet been announced.
