Nobu Adilman and Mio Adilman are Canadian television personalities and brothers. They were born to entertainment writer Sid Adilman.[1] and Toshiko Adilman, a Japanese translator.[2]
They are of Jewish background on their father's side.[3] The Adilmans have been involved in the film and television industry mostly as actors and writers. Nobu Adilman worked as a writer on the Canadian television series Emily of New Moon and Cold Squad, and acted in the film Parsley Days. Together, the Adilmans also made the short films I Pie: A Love Story and Yoga, Man.[4] In 2002, the Adilmans co-hosted the CBC Television series ZeD and then became co-hosts of the series SmartAsk that same year.[4] Nobu Adilman at first was uncertain about working for SmartAsk, saying "it's not like Canada has a rich history of game shows," but was persuaded when he was told the Adilmans could be themselves on the show.[5]
In 2004, the press noted it when the Adilmans temporarily returned to ZeD to co-host a five-hour special called Zed Uncut, which was shot live. (They were substituting for regular host Sharon Lewis).[6] In 2005, the Adilmans appeared together in Trailer Park Boys as the fictional drug dealers Terry and Dennis.[7] By March 2007, Nobu Adilman also hosted the series Food Jammers.[8] Mio Adilman more recently appeared in Hannibal and The Strain.[9]
Nobu Adilman is also a founding member of Toronto's Choir! Choir! Choir![10]
