East Side follows Momi, an ex-Secret Service agent-turned-fixer who plays by his own rules as he brokers shady property deals between the Arab residents of East Jerusalem, and the powerful Jewish groups trying to take control of the area by whatever means possible. Brooding and well-connected, Momi slips between communities with ease. But behind his cool facade, the deadly consequences of his double-dealing are taking their toll, and at the center of his world is 18-year-old autistic daughter Maya.
Yehuda Levi was born in 1979, and grew up in the city of Hertzeliya. He is a charismatic actor and a kind person in real life. His noticeable breakthrough was in TV-series Lechayey Ha'ahava (2001), and he is much admired by plenty (mostly girls), maybe to his displeasure, since he is not left alone lately. He attended the "Telma-Yalin" High school of stage art, and graduated with excellence.
