I think it's a real injustice to the Greek community that Christopher Nolan didn't cast the best Greek actor ever in the Odyssey (hexbear.net)

Stavros Halkias

Just have him be one of the suitors stuffing his face and crackling, then when Odysseus shows up he hides in a corner and is like "okay bro I wasn't trying to fuck your wife I was just here for the food."

Stavros as Dionysus. I don't care what the movie is, just do it.

He would be unironically great as a satyr or smth

Devito-esque

What if we just overlay an audio track of Stav hyena laughing with the occasional "Hell yeah dude" during other dialogue

Maybe Stav could be Menelaus and he would show Telemachus his pool with a big GMS in it, then a slave hands Telemachus a clay tablet that says "the G stands for Gay" and Menelaus is like "yeah the contractors fucked that up but I can't execute that slave, they're in the union".

I like Staavy but I'm gonna be real, his performance in Bugonia was mid at best. Maybe it was just more apparent next to Stone, Delbis and Plemmons popping off and acting their asses off, but it felt a bit awkward to me.

Then again, his character in it is an awkward creep cop so maybe the awkwardness was fully intentional

Oh no he's not a great actor. In fact I don't even like his standup. Yes funniest when he's on a podcast with other funny people, dudes just good at being a funny hang.
