Veteran Israeli actor Shlomo Baraba is leaving the popular sketch comedy show "Zehu Ze!" (This Is It!), which airs on Kan 11. Baraba, who is turning 76, stated that he promised himself on his birthday to make time for new endeavors that his busy schedule previously prevented. He is particularly remembered for his iconic "Yatzek" character on the show.
Baraba was a long-standing member of the original "Zehu Ze!" and returned for its revival on Kan in 2020, alongside fellow cast members Gidi Gov, Dovaleh Glickman, Muni Moshonuv, and Avi Kushnir. Despite his departure from "Zehu Ze!," Baraba remains an active performer, appearing in recent television series, films, and stage productions.
His recent work includes roles in the Kan series "Stockholm" and "Six Zeros," as well as a one-man show titled "Shabbat Boker" (Saturday Morning) at the Theatronetto Festival. This solo performance is based on the story of Shlomo Ron, who was murdered in Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7. Baraba is also currently performing in the plays "The Heart" and "Funny Girl."
Kan has not yet issued a response regarding Baraba's departure.
