Lakis Lazopoulos

Apostolos "Lakis" Lazopoulos ((ギリシア語:Λάκης Λαζόπουλος)) is a Greek playwright, actor and songwriter. His birth name is Apostolos Lazopoulos ((ギリシア語:Απόστολος Λαζόπουλος)), Lakis being a diminutive. Lazopoulos was ranked 83rd by the public in Skai TV's ''Great Greeks'' in 2009. In 2010, ''Forbes'' ranked Lazopoulos as the most powerful and influential celebrity in Greece.
Career Apostolos Lazopoulos was born in Larissa, Greece, where he received his primary and secondary school education. He then entered the School of Law at the University of Thrace and in 1984 received his Master’s degree from the University of Thessaloniki. Rather than practicing Law however, he chose to devote himself exclusively to acting, which had by this time won him over.

The political situation at the time triggers the production of four revues of a more politico-satirical nature, written between the years 1982-1986 by Lakis Lazopoulos and Giannis Xanthoulis: “Haido’s Pasok’’ (1982), “Pasok keeps harping on” (1983), “Blowing hot and cold on kastri” (the PM’s residence), and “Andrea’s taxing tolls” (1985).
In the summer of 1986 he performs in ''Lysistrata'' by Aristophanes, and as the lead infuses the role with his own personal style through his translation of the Ancient Greek comedy.
