Sakis Rouvas as an actor


He has previously done another movie , Alter Ego. Did you like him in this one?

I watched the movie today but I didn't like him a lot. I wanted to see that movie because I am Greek and wanted to see how would sakis act in an American movie. I can't say I was impressed. He is not an actual actor and the role needed a lot! It had to be someone professional for this role. I think that Tom Cruise would be great. I am trying to imagine him like he was acting in "Collateral". Now that would be great acting. Playing a serial killer isn't easy. You must make your audience fell that you are always in control and know what you do or you fail as a bad guy. Sakis was a failure because he was acting cool and not scary at all. He should make you *beep* in your pants and he failed to do that. But I can excuse him because he is an amateur actor. But the worst actor of all was Martin Donovan. That was not a victim. Someone from the audience could show more emotions and would react better in all scenes from him. He was REALLY bad. So cold blooded and non emotional in the whole movie, like nothing really happened and was forced to act like that.

I didnt like him at all... but accent, he could not pronance or real long sentences or long difficult words, and I hated most of the expressions/faces he would take during the film...

He definitely did not deliver as a psychopath/serial killer in this movie and I wonder if they actually auditioned him before for this role

Never say “you're sorry” when you're stating the truth :)

Bad actor. Not the worst, but bad enough...
