Actor Giannis Stankoglou made his debut on “Studio 4” for this season, where he spoke with Nancy Zampetoglou and Thanasis Anagnostopoulos about the new series airing on ERT1, “Archelaus 5,” in which he participates.
“It’s a very fresh comedy, a very fresh piece of work, which I believe the audience will love. From what I perceive from the shooting, it doesn’t resemble anything, or if it does, it’s in very small aspects. It’s a situational comedy with very good actors and collaborators who—at least most of them—have done comedy many times before. And I really enjoy this, because comedy requires partners, people who know the rhythm, who can be a bit relaxed in improvisation,” said the well-known actor.
“I think whether comedy or drama resonates more easily with the audience has to do with the times, meaning what the world needs. And from there, of course, it relates to how each work speaks to the era, to the viewer, and how much they will love it,” Giannis Stankoglou added in response to a related question.
The well-known actor also spoke about the new way of communication through social media. “Things happen that we don’t know about. You see how much information overload there is, and I start to think how pointless some things are; for example, when you go on vacation and post about it. Why do that? Posting on social media is vanity. I posted pictures from Thailand and wondered, ‘Do I really like that all of Greece knows where I am?’ In the end, I don’t like it. This kind of communication is far from the real definition of communication.”
