Fox News
Israeli actor Chaim Topol, known for playing Tevye in "Fiddler on the Roof," led a secret life as a spy for Israel's intelligence agency, according to new claims by his family.
"I don’t know exactly what the appropriate definition is for the missions and duties he performed. But what is clear is that Dad was involved in secret missions on behalf of the Mossad," Topol's son Omar told the paper. Yael Halon is a reporter for Fox News Digital.

Topol’s widow Galia, who he met while serving in the Israeli Army in the 1950s, told Haaretz that her husband would travel on various secretive trips abroad throughout their marriage. His children reportedly remember him packing a small Minox camera and a tiny spool tape-recorder but were unaware of their father's reason for the trip.
