About me
My latest project is Broadway, a story about dancers and thieves in contemporary Athens. The film is the debut feature of director Christos Massalas and scheduled for a 2022 release.
I started out in my teens as a show dancer in clubs. From there, I moved into modeling, working in Athens and Milan, and landed my first role in a feature film just before turning 20. Then came TV as co-host on a daily, live show – Hackers – geared at young people.
Next I joined the company of Dimitris Papaioannou, internationally known for staging the extraordinary opening ceremony of the Athens 2004 Olympics. During my five-year tenure with Papaioannou I performed the male lead in the productions 2 and Medea.
During my time with Papaioannou, I also appeared in the Greek feature Hold Me, directed by Loukia Rikaki and released in 2006. Since then, I have been involved with various short films and theatre productions, and have also done work with several well-known Greek photographers.
In my free time I like to surf, cycle, box and draw.
