SPEAKER_05 4:50

And you know what? It's kind of like subconscious in the back of your head because we're so used to our Canadian lifestyle. Uh it's just like sometimes, and I love Greece and I go to Greece every summer. I used to live there as a kid. But yeah, I will never forget. We went for Costa's name day. She's like no, but yeah, but yeah, yeah, he grabbed a spoon, took it, and ate it. I'm like, okay, okay, after the hook.

SPEAKER_04 5:34

But you know what happened to me? We went stingly for that yeah, lunch. Just lunch. But we weren't hungry, just but we were there. So we're like, we're gonna have lunch and a glass of wine. So we go, we sit down, and Steve goes, like, order, yeah, okay, let's order let's say when we sare like two or three appetizers, one mane, wine. We we weren't hungry, like it and we had an appointment as well. So paragel no, and he's like, uh girio, then the birthday to girio. I'm like. Και I'm like, είναι για μα. Θα του πάρει να ψάρει να φάει ένα φιλέ, θα σου πω εγώ, θα του πάρει εδώ πέρα αυτό το. Δεν ξέρω τι μούδο. Δεν ξέρω πόσα λεφτά το ψάρει που μου έβαλε να πάρω. Αλλά με τον τρόπο του, εγώ, ξέρει, τα υπολόγισα λέω μια χαρά να πιούμε από ένα κρασάκι και ενώ να συνεχίσουμε τη μέρα μα, μα έφερε μια ψαρούκλα. Ήθελα να ανεβάσει τον. Και λέω πώ με έπαιζε κορώτη έτσι αυτό, πώ με τύληξε σε μία κόλα χαρτίνε και να επέταξε στη θάλασσα.

SPEAKER_05 6:51

Εσύ, δεν έχει πρόβλημα να πει όχι.

SPEAKER_04 6:55

Και μου το έπαξε ξέρει. Δεν προσέξει τον άνθρωπο που είναι δίπλα. Είσαι πενταγή. Παραγγελισμένο και θέλει. Έχασα τα λόγια μου και ξαφνικά εμφανίζει στο τραπέζι μια ψαρού. Αυτό παραγγιά για τον άνθρωπο. Θα αφήσαμε, μιλό τα αφού το πινάγαμε. Μισό το αφήσαμε. Τι να πάρει την εξή. Αυτό είναι κρίμα, αυτό είναι κρίμα. Μα δεν θέλαμε. Είχαμε ήδη παραγγελία έξρα για αυτό που θέλαμε. Αλλά ο τρόπο που μου είπε αυτό για τον κύριο δεν τον σκέφτηκε ο κυρίω δεν θα φάει κάτι δίπλα σου. Φέρε ότι νομίζει, αλλά και με εξεπτήσει.

SPEAKER_05 7:32

Φέρε ότι νομίζει. Greek servers have a way. They do. They do. Είναι professionals. Δεν μπορούν να κάνουν οτιδήποτε άλλο. And by the way, next time everyone anyone says that Greece is cheap, they don't know where they're getting it, especially with the Euro conversion.

SPEAKER_04 8:00

I was about to say, coming from where? Coming from uh England with uh pounds or coming from Canada with the Canadian dollar pinna mibo?

SPEAKER_05 8:08

Like, you know, we would grab sometimes street food is fine. Street food in Greece still is cheap, you can enjoy. But like let's say you want to go to a med-level, like a good restaurant or a med, you're spending Canadian pricing. Just to be clear, it's not like between Costa and I, an average meal would be 80 euros. Average.

SPEAKER_04 8:35

Whatever, like right. I think it's what we pay here if we do something.

SPEAKER_05 8:51

I guess. I guess like the view is nicer, the quality of the food is nicer, it's better, I would say. But like it's not cheaper. Street food is cheaper in that Greece, I will say that. Whatever.

SPEAKER_04 9:17

Tessera misy.

SPEAKER_05 9:19

Because I went to Starbucks and I hadn't gone to Starbucks in a while to get like an old shake and espresso. Nothing too fancy, just I just I paid seven dollars. I was like, okay. That's when you realize I'm very expensive, that's we're not low maintenance. No, no, this is and that's okay. So we knew people, whatever.

SPEAKER_04 9:52

It doesn't matter, you still have to pay. I know. I know. And depends when are you going? Demand based on the demand.

SPEAKER_05 10:12

The surcharge. Yeah. So and again, you know what also I was getting annoyed in Greece with that pedestrian life is optional. Which I'm used to. I was like, I cannot believe you're making life harder. And maybe it's because I have friends with children now, and I'm used to paying attention to making my way to ways that it's convenient for them. Because I'm like, oh my god, oh my god. Like if you were to drive, it would take you 45 minutes with traffic. They don't allow coffee, food, nothing. Wow. This is a new line. That's a new line. It's a new line που το ελληνικό που κάνει connect με το kedder τη Athenas.

SPEAKER_04 11:27

Oh wow. Then it was time that we start, you know, caring about all these things.

SPEAKER_05 11:32

Yeah, so okay, and the other thing that I enjoyed in Greece, plastic καλαμάκια, παιδιά.

SPEAKER_04 11:45

Anyway, I was very happy. And they changed the change the taste of the coffee, the taste of the drink. Yes, we're done. All the same.

SPEAKER_05 11:53

No. But Athens is just a great idea. It's just better for my soul. That's what I say. Any season.

SPEAKER_04 12:00

I I was about to say any month, any season, any time. I don't know. Maybe we're biased because we're Greek and it's like.

SPEAKER_05 12:14

We went to a good uh like uh Greek place, but elevated Greek food. But yeah, pastor put on a deconstructed masaphyllo blows your mind. Yes. Or feasitis put on a pizza sasmo. I think a lot of you have been asked questions, will be joining us here because he might be coming. Hypothetically speaking.

SPEAKER_00 12:45

Hypothetically speaking.

SPEAKER_05 12:58

You know how sometimes you you're not supposed to do certain things and then you do it? Yes. I'm with Costa, this woman comes out and says, Oh my god, you're Dora, and I'm like, my name is so so. We went to high school together. I'm like, oh okay, great, great. I'm like, oh my god, are you pregnant? No, I'm just cleaning my glasses. I'm like, oh, because I saw you like uh rubbing your bellies, like, no, no, no, I've just given weight.

SPEAKER_04 13:44

I was like, okay, you became one of those people. I did I became one of those people. Are you married? Are you this?

SPEAKER_05 14:00

Are you that? I'm sorry, like if someone is rubbing their belly, it's like they're telling you to ask them.

SPEAKER_04 14:11

Maybe you have, you know, it's okay to make a mistake, it's okay, it's okay, but you know, have more empathy for those people that they make those mistakes from now on.

SPEAKER_05 14:23

He wanted to laugh so hard, like he he was holding it in, and I'm like, Yep, I I just made the faux path that I make fun of people doing.

SPEAKER_04 14:35

I hope she didn't get it like no no, she was cool about it.

SPEAKER_05 14:39

She was cool about it, but it was like my of course it was gonna like almost nine eggs can be toxeri. Yeah, body, casupi. Question of the week. You meet your first friend's partner and they start complaining to you about them.

SPEAKER_04 15:08

I meet my friend's partner and they start complaining about my friend.

SPEAKER_05 15:12

Yeah. Well, P T oh um they're loud or they're too much, they spend too much money, they do this. How do you react to that? And I'll share another story afterwards.

SPEAKER_04 15:24

Ah, okay. We meet like for the are we friends or we meet for the first time? Interesting. Is it if it you know, even as as a humor that Samarisen, yeah, but if you meet a new couple, of course, like Naspasi's tobago, or you know, to connect, you might say something. Something make fun of you, make fun of just to break the ice, just to you know, connect and stuff. I I get that 100%. Like, you know, there's so many times that you feel uncomfortable, and then you say a joke and opago se ispasi, perfect. If it's like to the point that it's annoying, like okay, like them and the feriol after all, like it's too much, like this is na merunes suspiti, and the next cathara, then I don't know. Like I don't know if I would say something to my friend yet, like the first time I would wait to see because maybe you know, maybe this guy or this girl, she's uncomfortable and she doesn't know how to you know be part of the pare yet. So I would give them more chances 100%. I don't like it, it's a red flag.

SPEAKER_05 16:47

I don't like that. Yeah, because you know, like it's uh friendly and it's funny and it's okay.

SPEAKER_04 17:06

Even at the beginning, like still okay, make a joke. So nakana ski to salo pio aneta to share something, and then you can you know have some funny FSD orders, but complaining, like complain to you instead of telling them what is wrong or something, that's a red flag.

SPEAKER_05 17:29

For example, I knew someone who would say, ah, muna zapatulla. Like you don't say that about your partner.

SPEAKER_04 17:35

Exactly. Tainiko, mi and dimo. Police to saying apotosellas. Tainiko mi ndimo.

SPEAKER_04 18:00

How would you feel if you meet Katsinotovrotora, your friend's partner, boyfriend, significant mother, and he or she would complain about your friend?

SPEAKER_05 18:15

We were in Athens. I met with a friend of mine, she's also getting married this summer, so I met her partner finally, because they you know that's a new relationship as well. So he goes to Costa He's like, you know, there's not friction, but there's planning to do, organize the wedding. So my friend told me that you know what, they're like you know, this is not just a complaint though.

SPEAKER_04 18:58

This is serious, like this is a serious issue. And you know what? And they know too. They know. She knows, he knows, they know.

SPEAKER_05 19:17

But you knew what you got from day one. She doesn't like she's always like that. It's not that she hides it. It's a complaint. And to someone who you just met.

SPEAKER_04 19:34

Maybe he wanted to find a friend. I don't know. Or okay, maybe maybe you know San Andres, Narotis. Okay, how is the planning going? Is it like my experience? Because every experience is different, every experience is different. Um, okay, maybe it was that for the wedding, or you're going through that, are you experienced this? Like, is it every couple experience that? Is it only us? It it's not a bad idea now to this. No.

SPEAKER_05 20:11

If someone started complaining to a new partner about my friend, I would put them in their place in a nice way.

unknown 20:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 20:17

Like I'd say, hey, also almost your anthropological. Then in a canis parapuna yeti film. Like, I want advice with your friend. That maybe I could see it, but not to just complain straight up, especially when I just met you.

SPEAKER_04 20:38

Yeah. Okay, let's hope that after the marriage and the wedding, then guys.

SPEAKER_05 20:49

Stay tuned as the catess and the season, we play on the kumbaras in a hizo de afin. So today we're very excited to host on the religious show for the first time. Some of the diaspora love through says most. I think it became such a staple in uh everyone else's household. But apart from that love you had on TV, you're gonna get to meet him. We're here in Toronto for the Greek International Film Festival Tour of Canada for his latest movie, Last Cause. So Orfea Salvusti on the show. Orfea, how are you doing?

SPEAKER_01 21:47

I'm fine. I'm very happy to be here.

SPEAKER_05 21:51

Listen, you're coming. You're not that I'm coming.

SPEAKER_01 21:55

Um no, no. In in the three months, I think I'm gonna be there.

SPEAKER_05 22:00

Oh my goodness. You excited? Tell me, are you excited?

SPEAKER_01 22:03

I am never been in Canada, never been in Toronto in my life. So yes, I am very excited. And I'm very excited coming with uh for that uh film, a film that I loved and very very different role for me. Uh so yeah, can't wait.

SPEAKER_05 22:22

Last call. Let me tell a little bit to the people who haven't heard about the film. So New Year's Eve, 1999. I remember, I remember even being in Greece in 1999, and everyone's talking about the end of the world, what is the new millennial gonna look like? So, 1999, Athens, fugitive, hostage, family, goes live on television, and everything else spirals. So tell me your take on the film.

SPEAKER_01 22:51

Uh, my take on my film, well, uh I I don't know if you know it. It is based on uh true events, but uh it's mainly fiction, it's not like um it's just based on nothing more. So my take was uh to forget about the real story because there was uh an event such like that. Uh a guy in an apartment uh holding a grenade and uh going uh live on the air. And so yeah, it was it was thrilling because I had to to move um my my my center, my energy from Orfairs to do something completely different, to change the way I walk, change the way I look, change the way I speak and breathe and feel and express myself. Uh it was it is always challenging for an actor that. I have the opportunity to do this on stage because I work a lot uh in theater here in Greece, in Athens. Uh so it was the first time in the last 10 years I to do it on screen uh for a feature film. So yeah, I was really excited to work on that part.

SPEAKER_05 24:07

So, what do you think was the biggest challenge for you as a fair?

SPEAKER_01 24:12

The biggest challenge was to um to make him threaten without screaming, without yelling, without playing the bad guy. Uh so how do you do that? You just have to forget that he is a villain, he's a bad guy, and try to feel his depress his um not depression, his uh irritated uh um apicia.

SPEAKER_04 24:46

Despair, his despair.

SPEAKER_01 24:48

His despair, yeah. And to feel his despair to to to try to understand it, and uh through that the the threat is gonna come off, I think. That was the most challenging part. Of course, you have to play um them like you're on drugs and you you're gravings and you're desperate and that you're tired and angry and all of that. But uh, if you work on these specific things like uh one-on-one, you're gonna make it. The thing is how how you combine these things and and why? That's the difficult part to make decisions about the uh the quantities, you know.

SPEAKER_05 25:37

I I always find it so interesting. You know, we see people on television and you can tell who is like a true actor versus who's acting and playing the part. You know, you'll hear about method actors and how they they become the role. So, do you find there's always a challenge in becoming the part you're playing versus acting in?

SPEAKER_01 25:57

Yeah, there is, but uh many young actors are asking uh is it is it a good procedure to go out and seek for the the real thing if you're going to you know uh become um do you have to become a real taxi driver to you know to act like uh you are one? Uh I believe that this is um I'm not sure that every actor will know what to do if if they dive in the real situation for a long time. I'm not sure that it's gonna make you a better actor or to act in this role like um more naturally. Uh you have to know what to look for when you you're into method actor acting, and you have to know what to do with these um these particles of life when you find them. So I I believe uh method acting is um a choice that you make uh only if you're a really good experienced actor. And you you want to sprinkle your food with a little more salt or whatever.

SPEAKER_05 27:11

It's what it's I feel I don't know it's to reach the bliss point, it's when they're like that perfect mingle of sour of sweet and salty that makes you want more and crave more. Yeah. Nasupo, what was your initial spark? You read the script, and like, okay, I want to play the part. What was the one thing that made you I have to be part of this movie?

SPEAKER_01 27:41

Um the same challenge we talked about before, the same challenge.

SPEAKER_05 27:47

So you like challenges?

SPEAKER_01 27:49

I like I I only like challenges, and I only love parts where I have no idea how to uh to play them when I read the script. If I read a script and I say, okay, I know how to do this, then I believe it's not for me. I'm gonna be extremely boring and dull and bored as well. So yeah.

SPEAKER_05 28:14

Is it fair to say you play very different parts?

SPEAKER_01 28:18

In your career, whether that's in theater, in uh television, or I I I believe that I never made choices that uh click in the obvious way with the previous ones uh in my career. So maybe it's the way to say it, yes. To change, yes. Yes, yes, exactly that.

SPEAKER_05 28:53

Do you realize the impact that Sasmos had outside of Greece? Do you know what it had become in at least in Canada and not in the States?

SPEAKER_01 29:04

I have no idea. Not now we're talking, no. A friend of mine sent me uh a clip uh where I speak Bulgarian uh with uh my mother. Then we were arguing in the different languages, so that was funny, but uh I have no idea what's going on with Sasmos abroad, no.

SPEAKER_05 29:29

So Orfea, like I will say Sasmos became a ritual, it wasn't just a TV show, including Canada, it became a ritual. I remember I would go to my mom or my grandmother or my aunts, and time would come, like okay, the burma milish m tokay. So I really want me to understand you became part of their lives. Like there's like so I I think it's so important and to highlight that because people felt you you were part of their lives. So they're very excited to have you here and seeing a very different part. But I guarantee you're gonna be asked questions about sus all the time.

SPEAKER_01 30:14

I'm gonna be ready to answer them, don't worry.

unknown 30:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 30:18

And you obviously grew up in a household full of actors where acting was your life. Do you think it's a choice to go into acting? Or you kind of fell into it.

SPEAKER_01 30:30

I believe thinking about my my son, my children, like they have small chances to become doctors or lawyers because they don't see that as normality, as everyday thing. Uh they see other stuff. The same was with me. Uh you have to try a lot, or you have to be the second, maybe the third child of the family to become something extremely like different, uh, from a different kind of uh how do you say it, like spectrum of uh jobs. And uh so yeah, I had a choice to become a director. I tried to a lot. I studied it and uh dreamed about it. Uh, but again, uh somehow I like I became in love with um theater.

SPEAKER_05 31:26

Oh, especially theater, yeah. You love theater.

SPEAKER_01 31:28

Especially theater, yeah, yeah. That's that's that's my main core here in Greece. I work like every year in that. The last seven years uh I'm on the same theater and I do plays that I choose with directors that um kind of like we meet together and we decide what kind of play we're gonna uh stage and everything. So yeah, I'm very uh very much with this uh procedure. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 32:00

So what's happening this summer? Where are you going to be?

SPEAKER_01 32:03

This summer uh I'm going to be here in Athens. I'm shooting, I'm not playing now, uh, right now. Uh I just finished uh play the season uh two two weeks ago, so I'm okay after six and a half months every day playing, almost every day. So now I'm gonna have a shooting. So the second season of uh a TV series named Ghosts. Uh it it is an adaptation of um a British series, uh Ghosts. I don't know if you've heard of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's uh you can see it in in Britain, in USA also. Uh so yes, we're filming the second season now. First season uh was on air this year, it was uh quite a success. So we we're filming a second season, and in on August, I'm gonna be here also in Athens because my my uh wife is gonna have our second child.

SPEAKER_02 33:04

Congratulations!

SPEAKER_01 33:06

Yes, yes. Uh so yeah, and then September I'm gonna be in uh Toronto. I don't know if you know it. Just a little no, no, no, yes.

SPEAKER_05 33:18

Oh well, so congratulations. You're gonna have a nice little it's gonna be little Leo or Virgo coming your way.

SPEAKER_01 33:25

It's gonna, yeah. I I believe I I think it's Leo.

SPEAKER_05 33:29

We like Leo, they're strong.

SPEAKER_01 33:31

No, no, no, no. Leo and girl and Leo. We're gonna say that's literally my mother.

SPEAKER_05 33:37

Good luck, good luck.

SPEAKER_01 33:38

Really? Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_05 33:41

So when you're the I'm assuming your parents watch the film, do they call or your mom watched the film? Do they comment on it? Do or generally do they comment on your acting?

SPEAKER_01 33:51

Do you mean criticize or just comment? Not anymore. Anymore, anymore. Not anymore. No. They stopped like I believe it was seven, eight years ago, they stopped criticizing and just enjoying. Uh so yeah, they liked it. They liked it a lot. They enjoyed it, they enjoy my choices, the film, the other actors, everything. And uh this they thought it was uh uh a nice, a very very good film.

SPEAKER_05 34:25

Do you are is the film traveling everywhere else? Do you know?

SPEAKER_05 35:53
