Greek Comedy with Sakis ROUVAS

EUROVISION star Sakis Rouvas competing for the "Chevalier"

One of the six men who engage in an absurd competition for a Chevalier ring in the must-see Greek feature film by successful director Athina Rachel Tsangari is the Greek singer and actor Sakis Rouvas, born in 1972. He is best known for his three legendary performances at the EUROVISION Song Contest: in 2004 he took an excellent third place with "Shake it" in Istanbul, and in 2006 he impressed as "Eurovision Host" in Athens after Helena Paparizou had won the ESC the year before for Greece, only to try again in Moscow in 2009 with "This is our Night", which ended with a very disappointing seventh place for him and his fans.

Parallel to his music career, he took acting lessons with his friend Tom Hanks, who acquired Greek citizenship with his wife Rita Wilson some time ago, and made a convincing debut as a dangerous psychopath in "Duress" (2009) by Jordan Barker.

In Tsangari's film, Sakis Rouvas also fits in well with the good ensemble of actors. You can see that the ESC can be a career springboard for a wide variety of talents.
