84 years old (Born on September 17, 1940)
Happy birthday to the legendary Sotiris Moustakas, a maestro of comedy whose memorable neurotic and delightfully eccentric portrayals turned Greek cinema upside down. From your brilliant moments in classics like "Zorba the Greek," where even alongside Anthony Quinn you masterfully stole scenes with sheer comic charm, you've left us laughing until our sides hurt.Your unforgettable interpretations—including that quirky role as Titian's apprentice in "El Greco"—are proof why you're widely celebrated throughout Greece, Cyprus, and beyond. So today we toast you: may this year bring plenty more humorous mishaps (on screen!), robust applause from audiences everywhere—and fewer nervous breakdowns! Happy Birthday!
