Source-derived summary

Tomer Capone (Hebrew: תומר קאפון; also Kapon, Kappon, or Capon; born July 15, 1985) is an Israeli actor who gained international prominence in 2019 for starring as Serge / Frenchie in Amazon Prime Video's superhero streaming series The Boys. In Israel, he starred in several internationally exported television series, including Hostages (2013–2016), the political thriller Fauda (2015), and When Heroes Fly (2018). In 2016, he received an Ophir Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in One Week and a Day.

Early life

Capone was born in Holon, Israel as the second child of business owner parents. His father's family is Sephardic Jewish, while his mother's family is Ashkenazi Jewish.

Capone was introduced to pop culture by his grandfather, and his early influences were Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Francis Ford Coppola, Bob Dylan, and Tupac Shakur.

Military service

After graduating from high school, Capone was conscripted into the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in 2004. He served as a soldier and later as a squad leader, including during the 2006 Lebanon War.

In an interview with Schön Magazine, when discussing his military service, Capone said, "The only thing I can say about that is I wish we wouldn’t have to have any armies or any kind of defense offense systems in the world."

Capone also discussed his military service in a 2016 interview with Ynet. He said he participated in arrests, checkpoint enforcement, and security operations, including during the Gaza disengagement and in Nablus.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Tomer Capone” as israeli actor. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA useful biographical orientation record, particularly for establishing names, roles and a first chronology. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1985, 2019, 2013, 2016—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1985-07-15. The account is most persuasive where Tomer, Capone and Israeli can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as israeli actor. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q23650016. VIAF identifies the subject as 5981149844962402960006. The Library of Congress control number is no2023111439. 2 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1985, 2019, 2013 and 2016.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
