“My relationship with work is romantic. Not only for me, I think everyone who does this work” characteristically said Christoforos Papakaliatis.
“From the channels I had doubt and denial at the beginning of my career. I was not affected because I had all the drive and stubbornness,” said Christoforos Papakaliatis, speaking to ERT and the show STUDIO 4 and Nancy Zambetoglou – Thanasis Anagnostopoulos, recounting what he experienced at the beginning of his journey in television matters.
“At 24 I felt like I had grown up”
The popular actor and director further added: “At 24 I felt like I had grown up. When you’re 24 and doing what you love, you feel like you’ve caught the world. I had speed, which all the new guys have. We all have our issues. Now due to age in some things we have matured. You realize some things. I had a personal need to write my own stories (…) I found myself in the “Guards of Achaia” through an advertisement. I knew I wanted to do acting.” He also revealed that in the same series, in the first scene he participated in, he wore a rasa.

He revealed that he even directed the way he told his mother that he would act on television, while talking about his childhood he said that his parents divorced when he was only four years old. “My mother and I grew up together. I missed my father’s presence,” he said, noting that his father wanted him to study economics in the US.”
He even revealed a hitherto unknown moment of his career, recounting:
“We did a scene with an actor, but he wouldn’t tell me what movie it was for. He told me it’s about a well-known ship that sank. I’ve auditioned for… Titanic. Two years after I saw the movie I said “Damn it! Is that what I would do?”
For his latest film “Another World” he noted:
“It got distribution abroad and I started traveling. When I went to the US, agents and people came and I wanted to quit everything, I wanted to not work, I wanted to leave. I was very tired. I got burnt out. I took a plane and ran away. I had Greek friends in America and got a life there. At the same time I was writing and going for walks, I was calm. I didn’t want to work. I wrote a film but it wasn’t shot because the pandemic followed.”
