“Danis Katranidis was a great actor, who leaves a distinct mark behind him, making the most of his talent and perfecting his means of expression”said the Minister of Culture Lina Mendoni, informed of the loss of the beloved actor, who passed away today at the age of 75.

And he continued: “He gave us, in a course of fifty years, important theatrical performances, in a very wide repertoire. The fluency with which he served the most demanding roles, but also the naturalness with which he imposed his presence on the stage, captivating the audience, hid a charisma that had been cultivated with dedication and continuous work.

Danis Katranidis’ selective passages from the big screen and television confirmed his stamp as an important performer. Danis Katranidis won the love and appreciation of his fellow artists and the general public. It is worth remembering other aspects of him, such as his rallying, with most of his colleagues, in favor of the Republic in the 1974 referendum, which showed his sensitivity as a citizen. I extend my sincere condolences to his family, his many friends and fellow artists.”
