Chris Diamantopoulos is “Under New Management”

A new movie by Joe Otting, “Under New Management”, is complete. The Greek news is that the lead actor is a Greek-Canadian. You probably know Chris Diamantopoulos from TV, but now the actor who played parts in “24” and numerous other American shows has his first lead role on the big screen, something that might raise his profile in Hollywood.

“Under New Management” is a comedy about two co-workers who send their boss on a sex cruise and then turn the office into party central, causing profits to soar in the process.

But how Greek is Diamantopoulos? Chris was born in Toronto and grew up splitting his time between Greece and Canada, but his first language is Greek. At age 9, he started doing TV commercials and professional theater. He left home at 18 to perform in a series of US national tours after which he landed on Broadway. Now he splits his time between New York and Los Angeles acting in TV and film.

Diamantopoulos portrayed Robin Williams in a television movie about the behind-the-scenes drama during the making of Mork and Mindy. He has guest-starred in several series, including Kevin Hill, Charmed, Nip/Tuck, and Boston Legal, and had a supporting role as a gay interior decorator in the USA Network mini-series The Starter Wife. He currently has a recurring role on the Lifetime drama series State of Mind. He also guest voiced on American Dad! in 2009.

This year Diamantopoulos has reportedly signed on for the eighth season of 24 where he will play President Allison Taylor’s Chief of Staff.
