Tzvi Shissel (Hebrew: צבי שיסל‎; 15 July 1946 – 28 July 2021) was an Israeli actor, film and television producer, screenwriter, and film director.[1][2]

Schissel was born in Tel Aviv and served in the Armored Corps Band of the IDF. After the military discharge he started acting in films including Fifty-Fifty and later filmmaking.[3] He was part of the comedy group Havurat Lul ("Chicken coop group"), which, among others, included Uri Zohar and Arik Einstein.[2]

During 1980-1987 Shissel worked in the United States.[2]

He died at the Ichilov Hospital due to systemic collapse developed from food poisoning, leaving behind his wife and two sons.[4] His family sued the hospital claiming negligence.[5]
