About me
I’m a Greek actor based in Brighton UK since 2002, but still have my home and a base in Athens/Greece as well.I love reading and writing poetry, I’m addicted to long distance hiking, speed-walking & running, and I’m the proud father of a French bulldog boy “Fatsa” and a Russian tortoise girl “Sputnik”. I am a cancer survivor and an avid supporter of Cancer Research UK for their amazing selfless work and contribution to the development of life saving research.
I studied Acting (Stanislavsky method) for 3 years at the highly prestigious Higher Private Drama School for the Theatre and the Arts of Karolos Koun (Θέατρο Τέχνης Κάρολος Κουν) in Athens, Greece, and was granted a Diploma in Acting in 1996. I worked as a professional actor in Greece from the Summer of 1994 (within the Θέατρο Τέχνης productions as a student) and later on within various independent theatrical, film and TV productions until Spring 2000 (all details are in my Spotlight page).
Furthermore I studied for a BA in English Literature and Theatre at the Empire State College, affiliated to the State University of New York (2002).
In September 2002 I decided to move for 1 year to Brighton, UK, to study for an MA in Media Studies at the University of Sussex (2003), and a few decades down the line I'm still here.
After having had a long successful career in Sales as an adviser, an account manager and a trainer I’m now pursuing again acting, my first career and love.

Highlights

Feedback received via email, from Director Shubh Desai, for my performance as “Farelly” in his short film ‘When Does it End?’ (August 2023):
“Your portrayal of Farelly has been nothing short of remarkable. Your ability to infuse life into the character, making it your own, did not go unnoticed. Me and the entire crew was captivated by your performance, and it was genuinely enjoyable to witness. So much so that you're the only actor we have full scene close-ups of! The nuances and comedic brilliance you added to the character surpassed my initial expectations when I wrote the script, and I am thrilled to have had the privilege to collaborate with you.
Beyond your acting prowess, your warm and radiant energy had a positive effect on everyone present. It was a true pleasure to have you on set, and your presence added a special dimension to our work. I can't help but look forward to the possibility of working with you again in the near future, as your talents and personality are a valuable asset to any project!”
