Giorgos Yannopoulos Recounts Bullying Experience and Connection to His Role in 'To Soi Sou'

Actor Giorgos Yannopoulos revealed that he experienced bullying when he moved from Kalamata to Athens to attend high school, due to his accent. Later, he wanted to honor his origins by giving the character he plays in the series 'To Soi Sou' the surname 'Chabeas', which refers to the Kalamatian dialect. Yannopoulos stated that his experience with bullying did not mark him and that he tried to be a creator rather than just an executor in his work.
