Kiriakos Stavros
Kiri was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. His parents Stilianos and Angela immigrated to the states without knowing anyone to create better opportunities for their children and they knew exactly what they were doing!! Kiri is the middle of 3 boys.
Kiri was always the outspoken and outgoing child of all. From a very young age, he loved to perform and loved the arts more than anything else in the world. He performed any chance he could get. He was always very intellectual in every subject, but his true passion was in the arts. In school Kiri was always at the top of his game. He worked hard and strived always to be the best that he could be. Most that know him admire and acknowledge his drive, motivation and perfection qualities!
Kiri was always a leader with a personality that shined above and beyond. Throughout his years in school he held many key positions. He was involved in many extra curricular activities and was always voted President in most of the organizations he was associated with. He loved to write and was always the editor of the school paper. In high school he made history as the founder of a new honor society that honored the Intelligent Males of the senior class, the counterpart to the 80 year old tradition of the female group. He was Senior Class President and also voted "Most Likely to Succeed" and "Most Popular." Besides his many positions, he graduated with a 4.0 grade point average that led to many hard earned and varied scholarships that totaled over 120K so he could attend Xavier University, one of the most recognized and prestigious colleges in the world. In college he majored in Pre-Law and Theatre and graduated Magna Cum Laude.
Since he was a child Kiri loved to perform in plays at school. He loved to entertain people and tell a great story. His first major print job and commercial was when he was 5 years old for a popular Chili company back home and he also did print work for his families restaurant where he grew up working and also continues to manage. Throughout his years in Ohio, he got involved in many theater schools that Ohio had to offer and always trained extensively, but always knew that acting was his true passion regardless of what others felt he should do. He got another agency in Akron, Ohio and he studied with them for 1 year. He would drive 3 hours to the class, take the 4 hour class and then drive 3 hours back for an entire year.
Before he moved to Los Angeles he came out to meet with possible representation and instantly obtained management. Up until then Kiri did lots of theater and print work but film and television was his calling so he moved to Los Angeles in 2006 and he hasn't looked back since. His first year has been amazing. He is studying with Hollywood's finest, he became SAG within the first 4 months, he obtained agents and is auditioning. He is also writing and completing a memoir that is set to inspire and encourage millions of people with his struggle to overcome Obesity.
