The news of the death of the actor Dinos Karydis, who passed away yesterday at the age of 85, caused mourning in his family and deep sadness in the theater world.
His funeral will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, at 1.30 in the afternoon from the Zografou cemetery.

The well-known actor was married to Julia Argyropoulou with whom they had their daughter, Smaragda Karydis.

Informed of the loss of Dinos Karydis, the Minister of Culture Lina Mendoni made the following statement:

“The loss of Dinos Karydis deprives us of an honest and sensitive man with principles but also a multidimensional actor, with a long and fruitful career. He tried, from a very young age, in the theater, successfully in a wide range of roles, from the classical to the contemporary repertoire, serving them faithfully and devotedly, making the most of his expressive means and giving, with his rich talent, interpretations who justly established him.

He created, in 1983, the “Eleftheri Avlaia” Theater, with his actress and wife Giulia Argyropoulou and his colleagues, seeking to confront demanding texts and difficult-to-interpret roles. His maturity on stage and screen always seemed natural. However, he hid, not only a versatile talent, but also a lot of work, dedication and great experience. With the same naturalness with which he performed theatrical roles, he appeared repeatedly, but selectively, in both film and television, gaining public recognition.

To his wife Julia and his daughter Smaragda, his beloved supporters, in life and art, to his friends and colleagues, I extend my sincere condolences.”
