Moshe Kasher has revealed the \u2018lousy news\u2019 that he underwent surgery after being diagnosed with cancer<\/a> three months ago.<\/p>\n The Pitt <\/a>actor, 46, had found a \u2018bump\u2019 in his throat, which turned out to be HPV-positive tonsil cancer that needed to be removed.<\/p>\n He had found the lump several months ago while working as a writer on the Judd Apatow-directed film The Comeback King out in Georgia.<\/p>\n \u2018It was cancer. Which did not rule so hard,\u2019 he wrote in a post, in which he also quipped \u2018Happy Father\u2019s Day\u2019 in the caption.<\/p>\n He posted a picture of himself with a bandage on his neck and a tube attached, saying he was on \u2018so much oxy[codone] as he wrote a message.<\/p>\n \u2018Two days ago, a Jewish surgery robot at Cedars-Sinai yanked my jaw open for 5 hours and cut it out and then slit my throat and dissected my neck leaving me with a hardcore neck scar which will make people reluctant to street fight me,\u2019 Moshe penned.<\/p>\n \t\t He also shared a diagram of the surgery before continuing his graphic description of the procedure he\u2019d just endured.<\/p>\n \u2018My tongue was clamped and yanked out of my mouth and is so swollen and bruised,\u2019 the actor continued. \u2018I sound like I Am Sam.\u2019<\/p>\n While he appeared to have a sense of humour about the ordeal, Moshe admitted the experience was \u2018the most terrifying and consciousness-consuming experience of my life.\u2019<\/p>\n Despite his diagnosis, he remained on set with 12-hour writing days for the Glen Powell<\/a>-fronted film, to help push through the\u00a0\u2018terror, meditation, tears, and medical planning.\u2019<\/p>\n In a shout-out to the acclaimed director, he added: \u2018I truly cannot believe I managed to work an entire movie while dealing with this. But Judd could not have been a more kind, supportive and nurturing friend all while on the verge of a five hour energy overdose from his terrifying habit.\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t Moshe also thanked the staff at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was treated, calling them \u2018kind\u2019 and \u2018pros\u2019.<\/p>\n Concluding, he wrote: \u2018I\u2019m in pain and I\u2019m in the middle of a very difficult process. It\u2019s gonna be a long summer. But the good news is the cancer I have has an incredibly\u00a0high cure rate (in the 95% zone).<\/p>\n \u2018As for getting through this \u2013 I am. I will continue. I will get better. I\u2019m so grateful I have a life that\u2019s worth living and a kid to raise this Father\u2019s Day.\u2019<\/p>\n Moshe is dad to eight-year-old daughter, Frida, whom he shares with his wife and fellow comedian, Natasha Leggero.<\/p>\n While the actor is best known for his work on The Pitt as Jacob Samuel, a American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter who helps deaf patients, he\u2019s also a comedian and writer.<\/p>\n He and Natasha host the Endless Honeymoon podcast<\/a>, named after their comedy<\/a> special of the same name.<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow![\"Comedian](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SEI_302442347-b46f.jpg\")
