She served in the IDF for two years, and won the Miss Israel title in 2004.Gal made her film debut in the fourth film of the Fast and Furious franchise, Fast & Furious (2009), as Gisele.

Quotes

I definitely have a strong sense of my Jewish and Israeli identity. I did my two year military service, I was brought up in a very Jewish, Israeli family environment, so of course my heritage is very important to me. I want people to have a good impression of Israel. I don't feel like I'm an ambassador for my country, but I do talk about Israel a lot - I enjoy telling people about where I come from and my religion.

There aren't enough good roles for strong women. I wish we had more female writers. Most of the female characters you see in films today are "the poor heartbroken girl"". That's why I'm so proud of the Fast movies. I feel like Giselle is an empowering woman.
