Biography

Georgios Pappas (Athens, 6 January 1903 - Athens, 3 May 1958) was a Greek dramatic actor. In 1933 he made his first appearance in cinema in the film "The Bad Road" directed by the Turk Muthshin Ertrogul and written by Grigor Xenopoulos, alongside Marika Kotopouli and Kyveli, to devote the next 13 years exclusively to theatre. During the occupation, he served as a conductor with Vasso Manolidou, Nikos Dendramis and Emilios Veakis. After the liberation, he collaborated with Katerina, but a turning point in his career was the period 1953-1959, with the troupe he co-organized with Lampeti and Horn – a troupe of stars as it was characterized – which was also the last theatrical collaboration of his short life. Some of his exceptional theatrical successes were in “Crime and Punishment”, “Don Juan”, “Caesar and Cleopatra”, “Saint Joan”, “Annunciation” and others.
