Singer and Aspiring Actor Sakis Rouvas Stars in “Duress”

Sakis Rouvas, the biggest pop singer in Greece, travels between Athens and Los Angeles with one goal; to see if he can act as well as he can sing. Rouvas took acting lessons and already has an agent in the entertainment capital of the world. He is trying to make the transition from being a singer in Greece to becoming an international actor. In his second acting attempt–his first was in the Greek production “Alter Ego”–he plays a killer in “Duress”. The thriller was shot in LA and premieres in US theaters on September 1st.

The story is about a parent, Richard, who is haunted by nightmares of his wife’s recent suicide and struggling to mend the relationship with his only daughter, who is caught as a witness to the violence of Abner Solvie. He finds himself at the mercy of the charismatic killer and plagued by his involvement in the city’s recent murders. As Abner’s new found protégé, Richard is forced to adopt the mind of his sociopathic mentor in order to protect the one he loves. Richard must decide if he’s willing to kill in order to keep his daughter alive.
