A Quote by Bar Paly

Cosmopolis is the movie of my life. I didn't consider myself an actor before, even if I had 10 years of acting behind me. I always felt like a fraud, and inappropriate. I doubt a lot. David Cronenberg gave me confidence in myself. He changed my way of acting and thinking in this industry.
I've always had a passion for giving back. It's a family tradition that comes from my devout parents. They were always giving back and serving the community.
