"I prefer to be remembered as a memory than to have an obligation in a memory, like a memorial service" he added

Yannis Tsortekis[/B] gave an interview to the show "Super Katerina" and spoke about both his personal and professional life. The actor who is starring this year in the series "Maestro" and "This Night Remains" explained the reasons why, when he leaves this life, he does not want to be buried, but wishes to be cremated.

"When I refer to cremation, I am not referring to burial, which is indifferent to me, because it does not concern me. Cremation concerns me for my own people. Because we have all experienced the procession of mourning over time with the trisagia and memorial services," the actor initially said.

"This brings back a dramatic memory or remembrance to the people who are involved at that moment in this thing."

"This brings back a dramatic memory or remembrance to the people who are involved at that moment in this thing. I in no way want to leave that as a legacy or inheritance to my very own people out of love for them. When I'm gone, I'm gone. It is better to be remembered at some point, or even never, as a memory than to have an obligation to a memory such as a memorial service that is excruciating," Yannis Tsortekis then added.

"The cremation is... the ending came, the other ending came, the celebration is over because life goes on," the actor said.

Commenting on his role in the series "This Night Remains" and revealing some details about the upcoming episodes, he said, "I went to the bouzoukia once five years ago. It was so dense that time that it didn't need more than that. I like fairs, but not bouzoukis. I won't tell you what's going to happen with Nitza because I don't know. I can tell you what the intentions are around that. He's falling madly in love with her. Nitsa both responds and does not respond to the siege."

Referring to "Maestro" and talking about the technically difficult scenes he revealed: "There were scenes of great technical difficulty. There is not one that I could talk to you about. We were underwater a lot longer. My guardian angel, a diver, Angelos Mumouris, was by my side during all the shoots with whom I felt safe. My leg was bandaged. Because I was positioned as a dead man, I was supported by the air regulator I had to make all the bubbles disappear to get a clean shot."
