'''Thanasis Veggos''' or '''Vengos ''' (born May [[1927]] in [[Piraeus]]) is a [[Greeks|Greek]] actor.

Veggos made his acting debut in [[1952]]. His first major role was in [[1962]] comedy film ''Psila ta heria, Hitler! ("Hands Up, Hitler!")''. He often plays everyday characters struggling to get by, but he has also done anti-heros, pure dramas, and on stage has acted in [[Aristophanes]]' comedies. His characters are often named Thanasis. He often works with director [[Giorgos Lazaridis]]. A documentary of his life, which translates as ''An All-Weather Man'', was made in [[2004]]. He always played his scenes without using a stuntman even for the most dangerous stunts like hanging with a single rope from a balcony, or walking through a glass door. During the "Golden Sixties" of the Greek film industry, he made the more famous of his films such as: the sequel of Secret Agent 000, Papatrechas, Enas trellos Vengos and many others, most of them by his own company Θ-Β comedy films (Tainies Geliou)

On a personal level he was exiled to [[Makronisos]], from [[1948]] to [[1950]], for political reasons. There, he met director [[Nikos Koundouros]] who later gave him his first movie role in ''Magiki polis'' ([[1955]]). In [[2000]], his car crashed into a train but he survived. He later did advertisements on the subject of auto safety.
