My Take
Louis Mandylor is the kind of working actor I have a soft spot for. Born Elias Theodosopoulos in Melbourne, he had a footballing background before turning to film, and to most people he's simply Nick from the My Big Fat Greek Wedding films, a role he carried across the franchise from 2002 all the way to 2023. That's two decades of being part of a beloved comedy institution. But I find the wider resume more telling: producer, director, screenwriter, the grind of someone building a whole career rather than chasing one role. He strikes me as a craftsman who stayed busy on his own terms.
