Tomer Capone
Tomer Capone is an actor, born 1985.
Capone's career splits cleanly in two. In Israel he was part of the television export wave of the 2010s, shows made for a domestic audience that travelled anyway: the thriller Hostages (2013 to 2016), Fauda (2015), where he played Boaz, and When Heroes Fly (2018). In 2016 he won an Ophir Award, the Israeli academy's prize, for supporting work in the film One Week and a Day, which is not among the credits listed here.
Then The Boys, from 2019, as Serge, better known as Frenchie. On a series whose default setting is cruelty, Frenchie is the soft tissue: a chemist and fixer written with more damage and more tenderness than anyone around him. Capone plays him with a nervous physical energy and a habit of holding eye contact slightly too long, and he gets the show's quieter scenes because he is the one performer it trusts with them.
The rest of the credits listed here are sparse. Nash in the confined space thriller Slingshot (2024), and a small role in A Tale of Love and Darkness (2015). Most of the Israeli work that made his name at home is not on this page.

Where to start with Tomer Capone
Nobody arrives here for anything but The Boys, and Frenchie is worth watching for a specific reason: he functions as the show's conscience without ever being handed a speech about it. Begin at the first season and notice how much of the performance is physical.
Fauda is the stronger case for him as a dramatic actor. Tense, morally compromised television with no comic relief for him to hide behind, and his Boaz is a younger, angrier proposition entirely.
Slingshot is a contained science-fiction thriller and a decent showcase. A Tale of Love and Darkness is a brief appearance in a serious film. Beyond those four, the Israeli series that built his reputation are worth chasing down elsewhere.
