Fiddler on the Roof actor Chaim Topol has died at the age of 87.
His death was confirmed in a Twitter post by Israeli president Isaac Herzog on Wednesday, in which he said Topol was"one of the giants of Israeli culture".

Topol's career took off after starring as the titular character in the 1964 Israeli comedy Sallah Shabati, for which he won a Golden Globe award for most promising male newcomer.He was also nominated for a Tony Award for best actor when he starred in a 1991 Broadway revival of the musical. He performed the role of milkman Tevye more than 3,500 times both on stage and screen from the late 1960s until 2009.
He was awarded the Israel Prize - the country's most prestigious award - in 2015 for lifetime achievement and special contribution to society and the state. Topol is survived by his wife Galia, who he married in 1965, and their children, daughters Anat and Ady and son Omer.
