Topol carries on 'Fiddler' tradition
Post Gazette: "Tevye, that great upholder of Jewish tradition in 'Fiddler on the Roof,' has been played by some decidedly nontraditional actors in recent years -- Alfred Molina and Harvey Fierstein among them -- but there are probably only two actors who audiences really, truly identify with the role: Zero Mostel, who created it in 1965 on Broadway, and Chaim Topol, who starred in the 1971 Norman Jewison film."
