    Why is he not doing more tv shows and films? hide show

    I think Costas Mandylor is a very talented and handsome actor, and I do not get to see enough of him on tv or in films. What's the deal with that? I hope people realize how good an actor he is, and how underused and under-rated he is. Gorgeous too!

    Do you agree?
