Born on November 4, 1999, Ido Tako is an up-and-coming Israeli actor. He has gained attention for playing Joseph in the Netflix movie “Mary,” which will hit screens on December 6, 2024.
The “Mary” trailer’s release has sparked outrage on social platforms due to its casting choices. Some people claim the film fails to acknowledge the Palestinian roots of the biblical characters, prompting several groups to call for a boycott of the movie.
So, Ido’s performance in “Mary” will likely be pivotal in shaping his future career as he navigates the complexities of acting in a high-stakes production amidst public scrutiny.
Ido Tako’s Grandmother Is A Holocaust Survivor
Ido Tako is active on Instagram. He often posts about his work and rarely gives glimpses of his personal life on the platform.
For instance, on June 5, he shared a nostalgic childhood picture with his mom, with the caption,
“Oh mama… Missing u.”
Earlier, on April 28, 2022, he paid tribute to his grandmother Magda, revealing her status as a Holocaust survivor through poignant photos and a Hebrew message. The caption, when translated, indicated this was his final meeting with her.
Ido stressed how crucial it is to keep her story alive, highlighting the necessity to remember Holocaust survivors as time goes by and their voices become less audible. He stated,
“As we distance ourselves from the events of the Holocaust and slowly recover as a nation, more and more survivors pass away, but there is a responsibility that rests on our shoulders—not to let their stories go with them.”
Netflix’s Mary Isn’t Ido’s First Biggest Acting Role
Ido Tako’s role in Netflix’s “Mary” isn’t his first big acting job. The Israeli actor made a name for himself in “The Vanishing Soldier” before his part in the streaming show.

His role in “The Vanishing Soldier” got a lot of praise, making him a big name in Israeli movies. Ido loves his work and often posts backstage stuff and thoughts on Instagram.
