Dimos Starenios

Dimos Starenios (September 15, 1909 – October 23, 1983) was a Greek actor. Dimos Starenios was born in Cairo, to Egyptian parents in 1909. At a young age, he settled in Greece and studied acting. He acted in many films, including with Lambros Konstantaras. He distinguished himself in "bad" roles, such as the usurer or the moneylender. He is also credited with the infamous line: "The Germans love us, they came as friends", as we can see in the film The Dawn of Victory. His performance in the television adaptation of Nikos Kazantzakis' book Christ Recrucified (1975) in the role of old Lada is considered legendary. He had first played the same role in 1956 in the theater with the Manos Katrakis troupe and in 1957 in the cinema, in the film of the same name by Jules Dassin. He was buried in the 2nd Cemetery of Athens.
