The star of the series, Maor Levy, who played the character of Eli Ben-David, wrote: "Guy, dear and beloved friend! I am still in the market that I am writing about you in the past tense ... Only a week and a half ago we sat down to lunch together. And I saw in your eyes the desire to once again devour the country as only you know! "Love you, thank you so much for everything, for a powerful role you wrote for me, for a real series you brought to us and for a unique and special friend I had. I will never forget you."

Uriel Atias, who played the character of Marco, also wrote a similar post: "I remember a few days ago, Guy and I talked. He had to come to my acting course. He talked to me, laughed, and gave new ideas. We talked about the second season and what he has already written. "I am shocked and broken. This person believed in me so much and gave me a new opportunity ... May your memory be blessed! You are my heart."

Amir Zard, who played Dato, also shared his recent memories with Guy: "I remember we talked about two weeks ago and I teased you when you will end the second season because the whole world is waiting and waiting and you told me 'what are you worried about Dato, there will be a season from the movies' ".
I remember how you fought over me, how you insisted I would be Dato, and how when I was accepted you were happier than I was.
I remember on the set we sat down to eat you said 'you are the date I dreamed of when I sat at the computer and wrote', I owe you a huge thank you, Guy, for the door you opened for me ... thank you for the moments of the smile.
You were perhaps the person with the most joy of life I have ever known.
I remember how after the series broke out you bothered to call and ask how we were and if we were already digesting, then no we were not digesting.
I love you, Guy.
Take care of us from above. "

Lake Oselbo, who played Elran, wrote: "Exactly today, two years ago, I received a phone call. It was Guy. I was in the process of final auditions for Bnei Or, he asked if I could come to the court to talk a little about Elran's character.
'I believe in you, you're a good player, but you're too good a kid, Elran is a dangerous guy, you'll be worse and your role.
Guy was there for the whole Bnei Or bunch from the first moment.
Unfortunately we disappear prematurely.
You did not have time to get married and have children, and still start a family, the Bnei Or family, you will forever be the father of the family. "
