	Greece is the word with Nick Giannopoulos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Nick will host two travel specials on his ancestral home Greece having experienced first-hand the excitement that is building in the host country of the Games.
		Nick’s run will be a bit longer than the 42.1 kilometers the world¹s elite distance runners will tackle in August, his event will be several thousand kilometres as he travels the country for a fascinating look at Greece in the 21st century.
		Nick will make a journey that will take in all the hot spots of modern Greece: Mykonos, Santorini, Olympia, and Delphi, culminating in Athens as the build-up for the Games enters the final weeks.

	Moviehole.net - The Wannabes
		This time, Giannopoulos plays a wannabe entertainer who is roped into training a group of crooks into becoming a children’s group.
		Unfortunately for Danny [Giannopoulos], they’ve got nothing on their minds but stealing precious jewels from the mansion they’ll be ultimately gigging at — and he’s going to be caught smack-bang in the middle.
		Giannopoulos and co-writers Chris Anastassiades and Ray Boseley have a great idea here — the ‘children’s’ group being such a trend at the moment — but unfortunately it just isn’t milked as well as it could’ve been.

	What d'ya wannabe? - www.smh.com.au
		Giannopoulos, the godfather of Australian "wog humour", is done with it, too.
		Giannopoulos says the inspiration for the silly storyline was the Blake Edwards and Mel Brooks movies he and Anastassiades watched as kids.
		Giannopoulos says all his protagonists are realisations of himself in some way, but Danny is not an autobiographical extension.

		Nick is probably now most famous for his original film "The Wog Boy" where he played, well, a wog boy.
		I won't say any more in case you haven't seen it yet and want to but I have to say it is worth while seeing.
		The most recent thing I've seen Nick do was be in an Kia Car ad.

		Nick Giannopoulos says he is unfazed by typecasting and knows the expectations of audiences.
		Giannopoulos is the home-grown ethnic comedy enigma who has entertained Australian audiences on stage in productions such as Wogs out of Work, on television with Acropolis Now, and on the big screen with The Wog Boy and his current film, The Wannabes.
		Giannopoulos says he sees the filmmaker's role to be to push cultural boundaries.

	ROC on-line
		I happened upon an interview between Bert Newton and Nick Giannopoulos on one of those morning TV shows which is merely a series of cunningly disguised adverts interspersed with less cunningly disguised adverts.
		Nick was giving a passionate speech about the struggling Australian film industry and how Australian films had real trouble being successful because they lacked the big budget of Hollywood movies.
		The dancer (played by Nick Giannopoulos) is then surprised to find that this is simply a front and that his employers are really gangsters using the kids’ entertainment ruse to rob a rich man during a performance at his house.

		Steve (Nick Giannopoulos) has been called a wog since he wore Greek national costume and took a salami for lunch on his first day at school in Australia.
		Giannopoulos plays his own hairy-faced mother and one of his friends is a compo fraud.
		The accents are bad, there is some stilted swearing and the central thread of romance between Giannopoulos and Bell is as predictable as it is uninteresting.

		Nick was also witness to the comedy and drama of 1970s Australia: the eccentric local characters, the breezy debates between neighbours, the alienating footy tribalism, the dry humour that pricked, with exacting precision, any displays of conceit or affectation.
		Giannopoulos was born in 1963, about three years after his parents came to Australia from Greece on the ship Patris.
		Nick’s school life was an education for all the wrong reasons.

	Film: The Wogboy
		Nick Giannopoulos and his mates have been making audiences laugh for a long time on stage and TV.
		Written by Giannopoulos himself, together with Chris Anastassiades, and directed by Aleksi Vellis, The Wog Boy is a raunchy, irreverent celebration of sex, ethnic diversity and welfare rip-offs.
		There's a lot of Nick Giannopoulos in the character of Steve Karamatsis, but to create a platform from which to launch the movie, Giannopoulos has had to create a public persona which people can relate to.

		Running 15 minutes late for any interview is bad news; turning up with a tape recorder that doesn’t even work is a definite no-no. For some reason, Nick Giannopoulos doesn’t pull a star tantrum; instead he calmly checks out my tape recorder, flicks some small button on the side, and the bugger starts to record.
		Making films ignited Nick’s passion for performing, which resulted in further study at the VCA, but Nick reckons his biggest lessons, particularly about what makes comedy work, were learnt in front of a live audience.
		Molloy stole the show, to the extent that Giannopoulos felt the need to return to the podium to tell the audience a backdoor joke about his recent trip to Greece.

		Nick Giannopoulos was awarded the Australian Comedy Star of the Year in 2000 by the 55
		Star, co-writer and producer, Nick Giannopoulos is basically the man behind this film.
		Many criticisms of the film come from the belief that Giannopoulos is simply cashing in on the already popular wog humour he has used in his stage shows (Wog-O-Rama, Wogs Out of Work, Acropolis Now).

		Nick Giannopoulos, Lucy Bell, Vince Colosimo, Abi Tucker, Stephen Curry, Geraldine Turner, John Baressi, Derryn Hinch, Charles 'Bud' Tingwell
		It quickly becomes evident that The Wog Boy’ is not a plot-orientated film, but rather an extended collection of sketch comedy, courtesy of debut co-screenwriter and Melbourne comedian Nick Giannopoulos, who is also the star of the show, the Wog Boy himself.
		Acting by Giannopoulos is what you’d expect, a constant loop of similar dialogue and actions that try desperately hard to maintain wog-ness.

	Wannabes, The - Rent This DVD with Quickflix
		Soon The Wannabes are back in the crime game putting their newfound careers, fame and fortune – not to mention the joy of thousands of little fans – all on the line.
		The energetic,affable and multi-talented NICK GIANOPOULOS (hey- he was our guest on the show-suck suck) writes,stars and directs this silly satire and screwball comedy about a quintet of low rent crims who pose as a flowery children's group (hence the title) in order to execute an ultimately bungled heist.
		Takin' the piss out of the modern trendy proliferation of insidious "children's entertainers" (with the exception of THE WIGGLES-of course-big fan!) should be a recipe for a lot of laughs but the satirical element is underdeveloped and extremely unsubtle and gives way to the univolving and generally unfunny heist shenanigins.

	From Wogboy to Mallboy: Australian Cinema
		The year opened with Nick Giannopoulos as The Wogboy (Aleksi Vellis), an ethnic comedy pitched for universal comprehension.
		We can certainly say unequivocally that by the end of the year 2000, Nick Giannopoulos' mission to claim the word 'wog' for his people had been accomplished.
		Giannopoulos too, had been writing about his subject matter for theatre and television for over a decade.

	The Wog Boy: triple j film reviews
		Surefire jokes about concrete lions, salamis, disco libidos and big cars fly furiously from the screen for at least the first third of the film (complete with Nick in drag, Marika-style, as his mum), all of which will definitely be met by howls of rapt laughter from packed audiences.
		Giannopoulos serves star, co-writer and producer on The Wogboy, and as Australian audiences are no doubt aware, he is no stranger to Wog-sploitation.
		No surprises that it looks like a telemovie, trades off gags and hyper-theatrical performances, Nick gets the girl (a blonde WASP-ish one at that), nor that it's wrapped up in a happy ending and in moral cotton candy.

	DVD.net : The Wannabes - DVD Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Nick Giannopoulos stars as Danny, a failed dancer/singer since a disastrous childhood appearance on an amateur talent show where he was mauled Red Faces style by a less than gracious judge.
		Thankfully Giannopoulos has decided to steer away from any wog jokes, but the Australianness of it all is very evident and occasionally a little too thick.
		The one big problem The Wannabes suffers from is not really being sure who the audience is. It’s probably too silly and thin for adults, and certainly contains too much language and too many dick jokes to be aimed at kids (although there is a Kid’s Version of the film selectable from the main menu).

		The enormous success of this stage show led to five series of Acropolis Now, a sitcom created by and starring Nick Giannopoulos, that was one of the top-rating shows on Australian television.
		In 1999 Nick tackled film with the romantic comedy, The Wog Boy, which he starred in, co-produced and co-wrote.
		The film became one of the top 15 Australian movies at the box office ever and broke the opening weekend box office record for an Australian film, previously held by Crocodile Dundee II.

		Screenplay by Ray Boseley, Chris Anastassiades and Nick Giannopoulos
		Nick Giannopoulos is back, keen to show that, having sloughed off his Wog Boy identity, he can still raise a laugh.
		But the strain shows in every frame of The Wannabes, a well-named offering which, on the rictus scale of recent Australian comedies that try too hard, sits close to the bottom - say halfway between Bad Eggs and Fat Pizza.
