Kostas Kazakos (; 29 May 1935 – 13 September 2022) was a Greek actor, television director, and politician.
Early life
Kazakos was born on 29 May 1935 in Pyrgos, Elis, originally from the village of Karyes, Trifylia. At the age of 18, he settled in Athens to study pedagogy, but his father's left-wing heritage caused him to be rejected by the university. Thus, he changed careers and studied at the Lykourgos Stavrakos Film School (1953-1956) and the Karolos Koun Drama School of Art Theater (1954-1957).
Political career
In the 2007 Greek legislative election, he was elected a member of parliament with the Communist Party of Greece, as head of the State Ballot. He was reelected in 2009.
