His work earned him a 2006 British Independent Film Award nomination for “Most Promising Newcomer On Screen” as well as a 2006 Times South Bank Breakthrough Award nomination for “Most Exciting New Face of 2006.”   

Since his debut, Rafi continues to dazzle audiences around the world playing a range of complex characters in both film and television.

Abrams, and streaming world wide as ‘Aarfy’ in Hulu’s World War II limited series, CATCH-22  opposite Geroge Clooney, Kyle Chandler, Hugh Laurie, and Christopher Abbot.

In 2018, Rafi starred in Bradley Cooper’s directorial debut, a modern re-telling of A Star Is Born opposite Cooper and Lady Gaga, which was one of 2018’s most celebrated films.

Variety praised Rafi’s performance stating: “Rafi Gavron’s terrific performance as Rez, the tough-love manager, is a great example of what’s so compelling about the new “Star Is Born.”   We’ve seen this character — slick, British, corporate — before, and he’s always played as an insidious pest who symbolizes the big sellout. But that’s not the way Gavron plays him. He makes Rez a smart and compelling straight shooter, and the movie never caricatures him as a sleaze. “
