Traveling the world. I have been to many countries around the world and have been called a Jet-setter, but I hope to be much more of one. I am inspired by all those travel shows on TV.
Health, fitness, and nutrition. I subscribe to the belief that living a very long and healthy life is a good thing. ;-) As we say in Hebrew, "Ad Meah Veh Esreem. Ad Meah Kemoh Esreem!" (Until one-hundred-and twenty. Until one-hundred like twenty!)
Food! I love the sensual moment when my taste buds react to high quality gourmet food. I especially love Japanese food, I'm a bit of a sushi/sashimi connoisseur.
Body Dismorphic Disorders. LOL. (Come on, you know you have one, too. It's the way we are socialized. I blame society.)
Writing with a pencil. It is so much better than writing with a pen. Oh, but I also really love writing with a Sharpie.
Drinking Water. It is the elixer of life!
Dogs. My favorite breed is the Schnauzer. Someday I want to get another Schnauzer and call it Schnauzie the Schnauzer.
History, Archeology, and Geology.
Going to Museums, Art Galleries, Classical Concerts, and Opera. I don't do that enough, but I always enjoy myself when I do. Oh, and when I go to Art Museums, I like to talk boisterously acting as a foreigner and bashing American art. The last time I did that, I pretended to be French. The results, priceless. (Oh, and for the record, I am not Anti American Art. I just like provoking strangers.)
The moment just before the sun sets and the sky is almost into the gloaming.

Heroes
My family and best friends. I am lucky to have them in my life and to be in theirs. They inspire me and I appreciate them more that they know.
Whether he is performing on stage, film or television, experiencing Yuval David is extraordinary.
A soulful performer with depth beyond his age, Yuval is strong actor. Directors and casting directors have commented on his compelling and varied performances in both comedy and drama. They often compare
his talent, style and intrigue to Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, Robin Williams, and Kevin Spacey. Yuval is destined to
achieve the "it boy" heartthrob status of other young actors such as Jake Gyllenhaal, Elijah Wood and Orlando Bloom.
But, Yuval is unique. His characters shine from a depth of personality, charm and talent. A highly motivated individual, he
thoroughly weaves together his mind, body and soul allowing his characterizations to rush forth in a gush of energy.
Each character is able to show subtle nuance and bold emotion.
A true leading-man actor with mastery of improvisation, Yuval's versatility has been described as "chameleon-like" by
critics and audiences alike. He makes an art of portraying a gallery of characters. His dead-on observation of human
life allows him to deeply penetrate each character. He has secured a wonderful reputation among his peers and garnered
their respect through his charming positive attitude and easy going, good nature.
The son of internationally renowned dancer and choreographer Ziva Cohen, Yuval was raised in an artistic home.
Since early childhood he knew he would become an actor. He made the realization while in nursery school when
his parents took him to see Lily Tomlin in her one-woman show "The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe."
His parents recall him being amazed that the job of this woman on stage was to use her imagination and play all while
getting an audience full of people to react together.
Growing up in Washington, D.C., in a cultural family with friends from around the globe, Yuval not only spoke various languages,
but he developed a heightened awareness of people and humanity. His family tells stories of how he would put on shows
for them, and imitate their friends with surprising attention to movement, intonation and accents.
Yuval then proceeded to train in the performing arts, focusing on acting in addition to dance and clowning. Today, with
a strong background in dance and physical theatre, he incorporates his agility in playing roles with intuition and
sensitivity.
Early in his career, Yuval was awarded the Maryland Distinguished Scholar in the Talent of the Arts and the University
of Maryland Creative and Performing Arts scholarships. His talent led him to perform in regional theatres around
the country, Off-Broadway and Off-Off Broadway.
After acting in theatre for many years, Yuval now focuses on television and film. He has built credits playing leads in films,
television shows, commercials, and voice-overs. Yuval currently spends his time between New York and Los Angeles.
