Aboutboul was a real icon here in Israel, and a major sex symbol when he was younger. Besides acting in Israeli productions, heā€™d built a decent career in American movies and TV as a ā€œhey itā€™s that guy!ā€ character actor, mainly playing Russians and Arabs. His death was very sudden and surprising - he was apparently swimming at a beach without a lifeguard, got caught in a rip tide, managed to fight his way back to land, and dropped dead of a heart attack. ---
