Nehemiah Persoff, 102 Years Old

With undeniable love for drama, actor Nehemiah Persoff used to manage his time between the theater and his electrician job. In 1947, the artist’s dedication paid off when he was selected in the first-ever batch of the reputed Actors Studio, giving him the privilege of training under film masters like Elia Kazan.

Now, with over 200 appearances on different platforms and a career spanning over half a century, the legend’s legacy speaks for itself. Although retired from acting, Persoff wrote and released a book named ‘The Many Faces of Nehemiah’ in 2021, proving that there is still a lot of energy left in him.
