Veteran actor dies

VETERAN actor Antreas Mousouliotis died on Thursday, following a battle with cancer.

The actor was 75 years old.

Mousouliotis was born in 1939 and studied acting at the famous Karolos Koun Art Theatre in Athens. He was one of the first Cypriot actors to gain widespread recognition. He mostly played comedy roles and collaborated with all major theatre companies during his career, including the national Cyprus Theatre Organisation.

The Education and Ministry issued a statement, saying Mousouliotis was “one of the most influential and important actors of his time.”

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
