ACTING RELATIONSHIPS AND PROJECTS WITH

KIND WORDS

 

JOHN QUINONES

NEWS CORRESPONDENT & HOST | ABC’s “What Would You Do?”

“Yuval is such an incredibly talented actor. His numerous appearances on “What Would You Do?” have showcased his amazing ability to create and explore characters and, make bold choices in improv. His lightning quick wit and kind nature make him a tremendous joy to work with!”

JONATHAN BROWN

DIRECTOR | CBS’ “MADAM SECRETARY”

“Working with Yuval is very enjoyable. He is a pleasure to direct and delivers an impressive performance. I look forward to working with him again.”

JILL SALVINO

DIRECTOR | JUST JILL PRODUCTIONS

“Directing Yuval is a treat, as he is committed to his craft and artistry, is thoughtful regarding his process and all those he works with, and he brings amazing intensity and high energy to support his craft.
I have worked with Yuval on three films, more than any other actor. There is a reason for that. His positive spirit and dedication to craft makes him an asset to any filmmaker. His versatility makes it possible for me to cast him in a variety of roles. Not many actors can handle Shakespeare, drama and comedy and be equally versed, but Yuval is. His sense of timing and humor help differentiate him as does his sense of humanity.
At a SAG/AFTRA lecture I attended, Jeff Daniels said something that has stuck with me. It was about how an actor must show up knowing their words and role inside and out. Once they step on set, it all starts from there and builds. Yuval exemplifies that thought.”
