"The first time I read a negative review about me I took it to heart and went crazy...", the actor said
Christos Loulis[/B] was a guest on Grigoris Arnaoutoglou's show "The 2Night Show". The actor talked about his career and expressed his desire to play in a musical.
He then shared with the TV audience the powerful experiences he has had, playing in Epidaurus and explained how his work has its "price" in the simple everyday moments of his life.
Epidaurus and the price of work
"It's all this surrounding environment that you're going to perform at Epidaurus and something happened and what is it really? It's a stupidity," the actor said about the presenter's remark that many actors, after appearing at Epidaurus, "ride the reed."
"My price is that because of the job I'm terribly observant even when something happens to me half of me goes out and observes what's happening. I don't live in the moment as I should. I've kind of smothered Chris inside of me because of work. I don't know what my self would say to me if he could tell me something, I'm afraid of what he might say to me," Christos Loulis said about the price he pays.
At another point he was asked about the advice he would give to someone who wanted to become an actor, saying: "If one can have one foot in this season and the other in the other, if one can forget oneself, then one has the basis to become an actor."
How good a father is he?
Speaking about the role of a father he said: "What you always try to do is to avoid your father's mistakes, but some mistakes you can't avoid... You always try to be better than your father, but you can't avoid all mistakes, at some point you will. You are your father's son and some things are in you even if you don't want them to be... Whether you love your parents like I do or not, they are in you..."
The negative review
Christos Loulis admitted that the first time he read a negative review about himself he took it to heart. "There are people I admire professionally, whose affirmation I silently wait for, either with a kind word or a collaboration. The first time I read a negative review about me I took it to heart and went crazy... The criticism we make of others speaks first of all about us, about our perspective, and I remember that when I am judged and when I am judged."
Christos Loulis also spoke about the quarantine period, which was the reason for his dynamic return to television and the successful TV series he participated in.
"I always liked television but I had too much theatre and I didn't have time, with the quarantine time was freed up."
