Biography[]

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.
