Yosef Shiloach was born in Kurdistan.[2] He immigrated to Israel at the age of nine.[3] Shiloach was one of the first graduates of the Beit Zvi acting school.[4][5]
In 1964, Shiloach appeared in his first film, Mishpachat Simchon. He went on to appear in many Israeli films, especially the Bourekas film genre which portrays the life of Sephardi Jews in an exaggerated comic manner. He often played parts of people of Persian descent. He also appeared in international films, such as I Love You Rosa, The House on Chelouche Street and Rambo III.
As an occasional voice actor, Shiloach provided the Hebrew voice of Arik (Ernie) on Rechov Sumsum, which is the Israeli TV version of Sesame Street.
Shiloach died in Tel Aviv on 3 January 2011, aged 69, after a lengthy battle with cancer.[3] He was survived by a wife and three daughters.
