Valentine Import: Thanos Samaras
One of Greece's biggest stars, let me introduce you to 37 year old actor Thanos Samaras.
From IMDB:
Trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. While preparing for drama school, he spent a year studying Art and Design at London Guildhall University and was working towards a bachelor's degree in Architecture, only to drop out upon getting accepted at RADA.
He later went to New York and took classes at the Stella Adler Conservatory, while doing an internship at Richard Foreman's famed avant-guard Ontological Theater, in Saint Mark's Square.
For the last few years, he has been constantly working on stage and in films in his native Athens, Greece, while preferring not to work on television. Some of his critically acclaimed theater work includes: Trebliev in Chekhov's "The Seagull", Carl in Sarah Kane's "Cleansed", Oswald in Ibsen's's "Ghosts", Darren in Gary Owen's "The Drowned World" a.o.
In his spare time he designs, restores and photographs toys, under the alias "Yatabazah". His work has been featured in many Japanese and American magazines and blogs. Has been repeatedly voted by the Greek press to be among the 10 most stylish Greek men.
