Kostas Voutsas was a famous and very popular Greek actor, director and writer. He was born in Athens, on the 31st December 1931 and died at the intense care unit of the Attikon Hospital on the 26th February 2020.
He studied drama, at the Drama School of the Macedonian Conservatory of Thessaloniki and made his stage debut in 1953. He became a leading actor for Finos Film and played in about 60 films, mostly comedies and musicals of the "golden age" of the Greek cinema. He was one of the finest and most popular comedians of his generation.
But he preferred being a theatrical actor. At a press interview, he had once said: "Playing in films has helped a lot, but I was always committed to the theatre and that was my highlight!" He received countless awards at the Thessaloniki Film Festivals and elsewhere and today his film technique is being studied at the University of Patras.
He adored women and was very gallant and generous towards them. His first wife was Erica Broyer, whom he married in 1958, his second was Theano Papaspyrou, the wedding took place in 1975 and the last love of his life is Aliki Katsavou, they got married in 2016.
We are deeply sad concerning the death of this fabulous actor and great human being. He will be remembered, in Greece, with love, pride and respect.
My heartful condolences to his family and friends. May the fact that he lived a happy and fulfilled life and that he was loved and esteemed by his family, friends and the entire Greek nation be a comfort to them in their deep sorrow.
