Canadian actor and voice actor Theoharis 'Harry' Standjofski died in his hometown of Montreal, Quebec, Canada on July 18th he was 66. Born on May 22, 1959, he was also a theater director, playwright and musician. He has appeared in films such as “Guy X”, “The Aviator”, “Protection”, “X-Men: Days of Future Past” and “Hidden Agenda”. Harry voiced characters in video games such as “Assassin's Creed”, “Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones”, “Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory”, and “Splinter Cell”. His plays “Anton” and “No Cycle” can be found in his book Urban Myths published by NuAge Editions. Standjofski has been teaching theatre part-time at Concordia University, where he attended, since 1986.Standjofski voiced various characters on two Euro-western TV series: ‘The Legend of White Fang’ (1992) and ‘Yakari’ (2005-2014).
He was an Anglo (not French) Canadian. I knew Harry from growing up in the Montreal suburb of Roxboro, and from Riverdale High School. His first name was actually Theoharis so I presume his mother was of Greek descent. He was a very good baseball player and also loved playing guitar in his youth.
ReplyDeleteHis own description was “a Greek-speaking Turk with a Polish last name.”
