Biography

He was born with the name Charalambos Rassias on March 23, 1960 in Piraeus. He graduated from the high school of Moraitis school and entered the medical school at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, receiving a MD degree in 1992.

Instead of a doctor, he chose to become an actor and he studied drama and theatre studies in the Pelos Katselis Drama School and the Drama School of the Greek Art Theatre "Karolos Koun".[5] His parents did not agree with this decision and especially his father, who stopped talking to him and forbade him to use his surname. For this reason, he adopted the surname of his mother "Romas". His relationship with his father recovered only shortly before his father's death.

Personal life

When he was 25 years old he married a fellow student and the marriage lasted only for 2 years. He has been a permanent resident of Chalandri since 1992.
