Yaakov Bodo (Hebrew: יעקב (יענק'לה) בודו; born 28 March 1931) is an Israeli actor, comedian and holocaust survivor.

In 1964 he performed in Ephraim Kishon's film Sallah Shabati (Hebrew: סלאח שבתי), alongside Chaim Topol, Gila Almagor, Zaharira Harifai, Shaike Levi, and Arik Einstein.

The film was a satirical portrayal of the poor conditions and the integration of the Jewish refugees from Arab lands living in the maabara.

In 1966, Bodo's character, Moishe Ventilator,[4][5] was picked up and made into a parody film by the same name (Hebrew: מוישה ונטילטור), where, under the direction of Uri Zohar, Bodo, accompanied by Shaike Ophir and the Gashah HaHiver trio, portrayed a frugal private whose cost-cutting ideas include cutting on maps in the operation room, which are coveted by a spy who infiltrates the IDF ranks.

[6][7] In 1967, he performed in Kishon's film Ervinka (Hebrew: ארבינקא, Starred by Chaim Topol), about an incorrigible layabout who becomes involved in a robbery of the Israeli lottery under the cover of making a documentary.
