Biography

Dov Glickman was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, to a secular Jewish family. His Russian Jewish parents Shlomo and Dvora immigrated to the Land of Israel in the 1920s. He began his career at the Israel Defense Forces's Naval Entertainment troupe. During the early 1970s, he was a member of the Haifa Theatre company, where he played a variety of roles.

Acting career

For a period of twenty years between 1978–1998, Glickman starred, alongside Moni Moshonov, Shlomo Bar-Aba and Gidi Gov in Israel's longest running television show, the weekly satirical show Zehu Ze!. In 1995, he starred in Ephraim Kishon's TV comedy Sipurey Efraim. In 2013, he played in the internationally acclaimed film Big Bad Wolves, for which he won the Best Actor award at the Fantasporto festival. During the years, he appeared in numerous notable theatre productions, as well as films.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Dov Glickman” is israeli actor. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Glickman, Israeli and actor, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA useful biographical orientation record, particularly for establishing names, roles and a first chronology. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1949, 1977, 1978, 1998—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1949-12-22. For this dossier, Glickman, Israeli and actor is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “israeli actor” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

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 Sep 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6923434. VIAF identifies the subject as 315200201. The Library of Congress control number is no2004099664. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1949, 1977, 1978 and 1998.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. 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.

How to read it
