Nikos Sergianopoulos (Greek: Νίκος Σεργιανόπουλος) (September 24, 1952 - June 4, 2008), surname also spelled as Seryanopoulos or Seryiannopoulos, was a popular Greek actor. Born in Drama, Greece, he graduated from the State Theater of Northern Greece (ΚΒΘΕ) and was a founding member of the Piramatiki Skini Tehnis artwork club in Thessaloniki. He took part in numerous theatrical and television productions and gained recognition for his role in the popular television series of Mega Channel Dio Xenoi (1997-98).

[edit] Death

He was found murdered in his apartment on the morning of June 4, 2008, in Pagkrati, a central district of Athens. According to police evidence he was a victim of homicide, suffering a total of 21 stab wounds.[1] His apartment was found in disarray and the number of beer bottles and drinks glasses at the scene suggested Mr. Serganopoulos had visitors the previous day. His front door was not damaged; a fact that suggests that the murderers already knew the victim and had entered with his consent. Police believe the attack was carried out by two people.[2] The fact that the actor had been arrested for drug possession in the Kolonos area in December 2007 may be related to the murder.[3] The case remains unresolved, though officers have many clues in their hands. Relatives, as well as colleagues and local people, attended his funeral on June 6, 2008, in his hometown, Drama.[4]
