- Coming this October,
not only will you have a chance to traverse ancient Greece
but you’ll also get to choose your gender in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
Actor, Michael Antonakos is the man behind your male protagonist, Alexios
A true warrior,
rejected by his family
and bound for an epic journey in search for answers about his past.
I normally don’t mention things like this
but I thought it was pretty cool that Antonakos has a connection to Greece.
he was born there.
At the age of 3 he moved to Canada
and realized his dreams
by studying and devoting himself to theater and musical theater.
With over 6 years of voice training under his belt,
he’s performed in several shows across Canada
and has a wide range of television appearances including my favorite show ever, Supernatural.
- What kind of message would that send the other girls, huh?
(screams)
Oh, Tiana, Tiana...
I'd say I'm sorry to lose you but...
There's plenty more where you came from.
(crack)
- He's also in ABC's sci-fi drama, The Crossing.
You might have caught him in Once Upon a Time,
- My third wish, I want it now.
- Have patience. I can help you.
- I wish you gone!-
- [Genie] Don't!
- Arrow.
- They came out of nowhere.
They told us, to ride it out or something.
- Falling Skies,
- We're going to eat.
- Now!
- And another one of my favorites, Continuum.
- You just have to be brave.
- I know what you're asking. 
(gunshots)
I can't!
He’s been featured in several films
including Warcraft,
and Odysseus: and the Isle of Mist.
- We will all certainly die.
As clear as Helio rules the sky and the sea.
Your end trails will be turned out.
Your life blood..
Will leak into the sand beneath your feet.
- While searching for information about Michael,
I came across a video from his days back at the Citadel Theater,
where he describes a time in his life where he had to make the choice between being a Priest
or continuing on with his dreams of becoming an actor.
I really think you’ll find it inspiring.
- When I was younger I,
almost became a Priest.
That was an interesting time in my life.
And it was a time when I had a tough decision to make in my life
I was like, do I follow this path or do I continue on my path of being an actor?
The universe helped me make that decision.
- You’ll find the link to that in the description below.
Besides acting in theater, tv and film,
Antonakos has experience directing & has voiced animated characters.
- They call me the mechanic.
-According to his website,
he also teaches at Shoreline Studios in Vancouver.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey is set to release this October 5th on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Like always, I encourage you to support the actors that bring your favorite characters to life.
