Melia Kreiling’s acting past
Melia Kreiling is an actress and dancer with Greek roots from her mother. After growing up in Athens, Greece, she moved to the United Kingdom to pursue her studies, where she later joined the London School of Dramatic Art.
In the past, she acted in popular series’ such as the Guardians of the Galaxy and The Borgias, acting next to Jeremy Irons.
She also appeared in The Bible, a History Channel miniseries, as well as the CBS series Salvation and Filthy Rich and the FX televistion series, Tyrant.
In an interview with Glamour, Melia admitted that even though everyone assumes she can speak Greek fluently, she had to figure out how to do a Greek accent.
“A Greek accent is actually the hardest accent for me to do. So I’m sitting there training my mouth to roll the R’s and all that stuff. But it was a really fun process for me,” she said.
One of her biggest dreams is to open a shelter for strays in Greece and she plans to raise money or find funding to make this dream come true.
