Actor and poet Christos Valavanidis passed away on Friday at the age of 81.
Born in 1944, Valavanidis graduated from the Drama School of the National Theatre in 1973 and went on to build a distinguished career spanning theatre and cinema.
Throughout his career, he performed across a wide range of theatrical genres, including ancient drama, Attic comedy, operetta, contemporary theatre, musical theatre, pantomime and revue, while also appearing in Greek films.
“It is with great sadness that I learned of the loss of Christos Valavanidis, a great actor who left an indelible mark on contemporary Greek theatre,” Greece’s Culture Minister Lina Mendoni said in a message of condolence.
