For me, comedy is a way of being! And it shows through in my work. That\u2019s why the audience laughs and resonates with my personal vibes. Even though I am the first Greek person to become a successful stand-up comedian, I come from a classic theatrical background. That\u2019s like committing a sin!

Yes, soon I will start directing my own films. I mean, I wrote four already. Last year in Cannes, I sold one of my scripts to a Japanese producer. It\u2019s the biography of a Samurai. I have already started working on a comedic film, and soon, I\u2019m going to work with deeper themes with my future drama film. It is very \u201cCronenberg-style\u201d, dark and deep, a little metaphysical! I want John Malkovich for the lead role. I was so lucky to co-director on a Sir Ridley Scott film. This huge honor will help me tremendously as I continue on my present path into directing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
