 As a boy in Poland he had already played in amateur Yiddish theatricals, so in London, he and his sister, Fanny Waxman, who also became a well-known Yiddish actress, joined the choir of the Yiddish Theatre, where they were also given small acting parts. He toured for a time and when he returned to London in 1896 he played with Kessler, Feinman, Magulesco, and other famous Yiddish actors. He was invited to go to America and there he played with Jacob Adler in New York and in many other American cities. He was in London again a few years later, and then went to South Africa where he played in English productions for a while.
-In 1906 Waxman started the [[London Yiddish Theatre]] at the Pavilion in Whitechapel, and he was one of the founders of the Company which was formed to establish a permanent Yiddish Art Theatre, in London, which became the Feinman Yiddish People’s Art Theatre.

 He played in London many times after that, between tours in the Argentine and the various countries in Eastern Europe. In 1920, after playing a season at the Pavilion Theatre in London and appearing at the Court Theatre in ''[[The Priest and the Jew]]'', he returned to America and continued touring the country, mostly in English plays on Jewish themes.
