Nikos Kyriakidis has passed away after a battle with cancer for the last six months. At the age of 54, the actor took his last breath, known to all of us from “Konstantinou and Helenis” in his iconic role as Nionios the Spint. He was also one of the key contributors to the Greek dubbing of the episodes of “SpongeBob SquarePants,” providing the voice for several of the show’s beloved characters.
The sad news of his death was announced by Spyros Bibilas through his personal profile on Facebook: “How unfair! Our beloved colleague and good friend Nikos Kyriakidis left us too early at the age of 54, struck down by cancer in just six months, and we will bid him farewell on Saturday, August 3, in the morning from the crematorium in Ritsona. Safe travels, Nikos…”.
He appeared in two episodes of the successful television series by Haris Roma and Anna Hatzisofia as an old friend of Eleni Vlachaki (Eleni Randou). First in episode 36 titled “The Rock and the Purok”, where he promised to make Eleni and her friends, Peggy Karra and Matina Mandarinaki, a successful music band called “Pat Kiout”, securing them large sums of money for the production of songs and music videos. Nionios returned a few episodes later, in episode 48 to be exact, titled “Viva Mexico,” again in the role of a manager, this time involving the whole crew in shooting a Mexican series.
Additionally, Nikos Kyriakidis lent his voice to several beloved characters from “SpongeBob SquarePants” during the dubbing of the first three seasons in Greece from 2001 to 2004. Among others, he voiced Mr. Krabs, Plankton, the Mermaid Man, Larry the Lobster, Patchy the Pirate, and the Flying Dutchman.
