Giorgos Benos, who plays Spyros in the series “Maestro”, opened up about the challenges of his role and a particularly emotional scene that made him cry. During his appearance on “Studio 4”, the actor shared his experience from the filming and how the story of his character, who suffers from domestic violence, personally affected him.
Benos explained that the script made him think about children who experience such situations in real life. “In the scene with Tsortekis, I was so affected that I broke down in tears,” he said, describing the difficulty and emotional intensity of the scene, which had a strong impact not only on the actors but on the crew as well.
He also shared a personal encounter with a fan of the series, who had been abused by her father. The woman’s shocking confession deeply moved the actor, as she told him how important it was that the series addressed such issues.
Benos emphasized that the role made him realize the gravity of these situations and that his work as an actor can touch and impact people who have gone through similar experiences.
