Сол Рубинек

biography: Родился в немецком пересыльном лагере, но вырасти ему повезло в Канаде, где он и начал свою актерскую карьеру. Спустя несколько лет активной деятельности в "Торонто Фри Театре", Рубинек отправился в Нью-Йорк, там он получил работу на Бродвее и репетиционных театрах. Его исполнение роли лучшего друга члена религиозной секты в фильме "Билет на небеса" в 1981 году стало достойной заявкой на известность, хотя большинство сам фильм проигнорировало. Сол Рубинек получает в основном вторые роли, но судя по той убедительности, с которой он их играет, он вполне мог бы справиться и с главной.
