Yank Azman (born October 19, 1947) is a Canadian television and film actor.
Early life [ edit ]
Azman was born in a displaced persons camp in Bad Wörishofen , Germany to Cesia (née Waishand), a sales clerk, and Kuba Zajfman, a tailor and furrier, Holocaust survivors from Chmielnik , Poland.[1] They emigrated to Canada in 1948 and settled in Toronto where he attended Harbord Collegiate Institute , William Lyon Mackenzie Collegiate Institute and later the Ontario College of Art [2] (now known as OCAD University) and the University of Toronto .
Although his first stage appearance was at age six,[3] his professional acting career began with the CBC Television series Toby in 1968. By the 1970s after training at Young People's Theatre and The Second City , he was working in improvisational and children's theatre with Gilda Radner [4] and in 1974 was cast as one of an ensemble (which included Valri Bromfield and Jayne Eastwood ) to star on the CTV comedy series Funny Farm .[5] During the 1970s he appeared on stage at: Factory Theatre 's Hurray for Johnny Canuck [6] with Maury Chaykin and Jim Henshaw ; Theatre Passe Muraille in Bethune ; and Theatre New Brunswick as Brighella in Goldoni 's Servant of Two Masters [7] among others. Since then he has worked steadily in film and television[8] with such roles as Tom Shaughnessy on My Life as A Dog and frequent guest appearances on such shows as Murdoch Mysteries .
Second career [ edit ]
He began a lifelong interest in art and antiques after being inspired by Painters Eleven artist Harold Town while working together on the Canadian Centennial project at William Lyon Mackenzie C.I.[9] In 1979, he started supplying antiques as props [10] for the movies and to retail stores such as Polo Ralph Lauren [11] and then opened a shop at the Harbourfront Antique Market. Toronto Life Magazine called him the "friendliest dealer in town."[12] He has made numerous guest appearances as an antiques expert[13] on such television shows as Room Service with Sarah Richardson on HGTV ,[14] Breakfast Television on Citytv and in 2002 he hosted a television pilot called Flea Market Millionaire [15] for the Discovery Channel .
Azman has also lectured on antiques at the CITT (Canadian Institute of Theatre Technology) at Ryerson University (now Toronto Metropolitan University) [16] and on Material Culture at the Faculty of Liberal Studies at Ontario College of Art & Design .
Voice acting [ edit ]
Azman has long worked as a voice actor and has voiced several characters in animated series such as Starcom: The U.S. Space Force and The Adventures of Tintin .
Personal life [ edit ]
Azman is married to Canadian artist[17] [18] & antique dealer Pulver Zajfman[19] and lives in Toronto and Miami Beach . He is a member of Mensa [20] and has a mild form of dyscalculia .
