41	* CareerEndingInjury: He had previously played soccer for both Australia and Greece until constant stress fractures to his shins forced him to give up the sport.
42	* ChronicallyKilledActor: He has played plenty of doomed characters, including in ''Film/{{Virtuosity}}'', ''Film/FistOfTheNorthStar'', ''Series/{{Andromeda}}'' and ''Film/Saw3D''.
43	* FakeAmerican: The great majority of his roles have him cast as an American or virtually anything but an Aussie.
44	* IcyBlueEyes: Which makes his role as Mark Hoffman even more ominous-looking. Elsewhere however, it's more along the lines of WhatBeautifulEyes (even a [[EvenTheGuysWantHim male]] interviewer asked him to remove his sunglasses to show them off--and further complimented him on them!--which made him laugh but he still complied.)
45	* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Strongly averted; it's quite admirable how effective he is at hiding his natural accent.
46	* StageNames: His real name is Constantinos Theodosopolous. His professional name came from his nickname and his mother's maiden name of [[NomDeMom "Mandylaris"]]. His younger brother has also followed suit, with his real name being "Elias".
