It saw the light of life in Klimatia, Ioannina in 1943. He had a difficult childhood as his parents divorced early and he was raised by his mother.
“I don’t know the word ‘father’. I have never said it until today. My mother was both father and mother to me.”
The artistic legacy and the vision
He has a great career as an actor, director and playwright while also being a cheerleader. As he stated in an interview, he stopped putting on shows in 2008 when Grigoropoulos was killed. From there, traffic to the theater began to drop. “Cars were burning every now and then in Tositsa, next to us they were smashing them, walls were plastered with slogans. It was one thing that prevented people from coming down to the area because they were afraid.

They kept walking by and yelling during the show. I had written then I remember a play, “American in the head”, a nice story. He went for two years and in the second year the child was killed. A Saturday night when the theater was full. Since then I have uploaded other projects but they all languished. The place is dying. The last show was Stridmerg’s “Father” which we did in one month with a collection of 1200 euros. Then I didn’t dare upload anything again. My son came back from Paris where he completed his studies, I also gave him the school and he is doing very well. I’m happy for him even though whenever I go in a way he drives me away.”
The trigger to engage in acting and the contribution of Alexandrakis
He studied alongside Karolos Koon, while before he got involved in acting he had also worked as a sailor. As he himself has stated in an interview, the trigger to engage in theater was caused by a radio show, during which he heard Kuhn speak. At the urging of Alekos Alexandrakis, he took exams as a talent for the school of Koon, in which he succeeded and even studied with a scholarship during the period 1967-1970.
“When I went to Karolos Koon and told him that I wanted to be a writer, he told me, ‘go ahead and become an actor and then you’ll become a writer as well.’ It is shameful to talk about abusive behaviors. The theater is affected and we can’t all be in the same bag”, Giorgos Armenis initially said.

Giorgos Armenis then said: “Karolos Koon was a wonderful person. We were chosen wood and he “polished” us and “made” us. Before I became an actor I did people’s jobs. I had worked in a grocery store, collecting jasmine and pine needles, bunching them up and selling them.”

53 years in the theater
He served the theater for 53 years, while at the “Art Theater” he had remained for 22 consecutive years, until the death of his teacher. His known works are “Prova” and “Soi”.
In addition to the theater, he appeared and directed several television series, while he also starred in the cinema, winning important distinctions according to enimerotiko.gr.
The acting school
“In order to build the theater, I did “Soi” at MEGA for two years, he recently told zappIT. A series that I had written and directed. I bought the building and brought in an architect to build the place. It had a magic like setting and everything I uploaded was a mess. I made money, yes and I could and I got out of debt. I paid off the loans, the checks and at some point managed to free myself from them. The school also worked very hard. I started with 30 children, in two years I had 120 and I was scrapping to always keep around 60 children. It was a good ride, yes. I did TV for a few years, I wrote, I did everything.”

The death of the wife and reconciliation with death
“It’s been three years since I lost my wife, the memory always remains. Nothing scares me anymore. I have come to terms with death. I have decided to be cremated. I am artistically satisfied. I have filled my house with prizes. But the biggest prize is a couple of good talks or someone shaking your hand”, Giorgos Armenis also added.
