For a long time, the actually real identity of Greek bodybuilder Takis Kavouras was a mystery. He was credited under a different name for most of the PEPLUM films he appeared in, including THE GIANTS OF THESSALY (1960) and SIEGE OF SYRACUSE (1960). Here he is at a gym in 1960.
Takis appeared briefly in SIEGE OF SYRACUSE (1960) starring Rossano Brazzi
