Tom Haimov on the storm of "stealing" the roles for the actors: "No apologies" | Israel today

The lawyer, a graduate of "Big Brother" and soon also the actor, Tom Haimov, responded in a question and answer session on his Instagram this weekend to the claim that reality comedians "steal" roles from acting school graduates just because they are celebrities.

Haimov, it will be recalled, was recently cast in the series "Roni and Tom" from Yes (alongside ex-girlfriend Gal Gvaram) in the role of first actor, which provoked, and not for the first time, the debate over whether it is legitimate for reality refugees to take part in acting productions. Per game.

“For the first role you got, don’t you think you as a celebrity take a chance on players who have studied?” Haimov was asked.

"I do not think I am taking anything from someone that I did not deserve," Haimov replied quite emphatically at the beginning of his remarks to make it clear that he does not see this as a defect.

"I've been studying acting for over a year and attending workshops," Haimov shared with his 132,000 followers on his additional career path alongside advocacy.

"The fact that I came out of reality did not necessarily benefit me. So if they loved me at auditions and thought I was suitable for the role, it was a compliment and I would take the opportunity with both hands without apologizing," he declared emphatically.

Were we wrong?
