Dinos Karydes: On Tuesday the actor’s funeral

On Tuesday (17.09.24) his funeral will be held, who left his last breath on Sunday (15.09. 24) at age 85. Relatives, colleagues and friends will tell the great actor, Dino Karydes, the last farewell at 13:30, at Painter’s Cemetery. The tragic news made known by posting on social media, Spiros Bibilas, noting: “My dear friend, good night forever! You’ve been one of the sweetest people I’ve known and you’ve always called me your nephew since we met in the ERT studios in 80, we loved each other, and it brought us together a deep family friendship. Your talent and humor endlessly! The love for all of us, but mostly for your Julia and your Emerald too much. And Emerald’s daughter of such parents. We’ll always love you and say good-bye Tuesday, 1.30 from Painter’s Cemetery. Have a good trip, dear Dinako and warm condolences to your two beloved creatures.” “He was not only hiding a multifaceted talent, but also a lot of work” “The loss of Dinos Karydes, deprives us of an honest and sensitive man with principles and a multidimensional actor, with a long and fruitful course. He was tested, from very young, in the theatre, successfully in a wide range of roles, coming from classical to modern repertoire, serving them faithfully and devotedly, making the most of his expressive means and giving, with his rich talent, interpretations that rightly established him,” noted Culture Minister Lena Mendoni. “He created, in 1983, the Theatre “Free Court”, with his actress and wife Julia Argyropoulou and his colleagues, seeking to compete with demanding texts and difficult interpretation roles. His maturity on stage and screen always seemed natural. However, he was hiding, not only a multifaceted talent, but also a lot of work, dedication and great experience. With the same naturality that performed the plays, he appeared repeatedly, but selectively, in both cinema and television, gaining public recognition. To his wife Julia and daughter Emerald, his beloved supporters, to his life and art, to his friends and colleagues, I offer sincere condolences”, he concluded.
