Comedian/actor/writer Stavros Halkias is that rare combination of distinctive looks, oversized personality and being genetically funny that hasn’t happened since Farley/Candy/May. Not an influencer shooting star, Halkias is geared for longevity. His first special, Live at the Lodge Room, is inching up to 8 million views and his stand-up shows are sold-out huge events. The turn comes in cinema, where Halkias shows a wide range of emotion and comedy gold. With an 82% score on Rotten Tomatoes, his role as the charismatic leader in Let’s Start a Cult, Halkias’ world is an oyster.
