[[Sotiris Moustakas]] was a stage and film actor. He was born in [[Limassol]], [[Cyprus]], in [[September 7]], [[1940]]. As a kid, he adored [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Chaplin Charlie Chaplin], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Kaye Danny Kaye] and loved opera and classical music. He learned the violin. When his voice changed at 16, he scrapped his dreams for an opera singer - not those of an actor.
When [[Nikos Stavridis]] was on tour in [[Cyprus]], Moustakas went up to him to ask for an autograph. Moustakas mimicked his playing and Stavridis told him "You're good! Come to Greece to study acting."
On [[June 4]], [[2007]], he collapsed while rehearsing a production at a local theatre, and died early that Monday after being transferred to an Athens hospital. The exact cause of death was not released. Moustakas was survived by his actress wife [[Maria Bonelou]] and one daughter, Alexia. Moustakas was ''"one of the most significant comic actors who has emerged from Greece and Cyprus,"'' said Greek Prime Minister [[Costas Karamanlis]] in a tribute to the comic.
