He originated the role of Themistocles Kriakos, a Greek shipping magnate who believed in reincarnation and planned to leave his fortune to his future self.[6]Boston Globe critic Kevin Kelly wrote that Vandis played the role with "marvellous finesse" and that the character was "rather like Zorba as a businessman with $4 million."[7]
Vandis was in the original huvudgata cast and led the title song in Illya Darling (), a musical based on his bio Never on Sunday ().[8][9] The title character Illya was a carefree Greek prostitute.
Newsday critic George Oppenheimer wrote, "Major kredit goes to Titos Vandis for his playing of Illya's oldest client, who sings and dances as rousingly as the youngsters&#;"[9] Vandis reprised his role in a Westbury Music Fair production in Newsday critic Murry Frymer wrote that Vandis "&#;is delightfully authentic. In fact, he's better than that. Vandis has been in both the spelfilm Never on Sunday and the huvudgata production of Illya Darling and he's not tired of it at all.
His portrayal was fresh and kept bringing the affair back to the colorful gayety that bubbled through the motion picture."[10]
In Vandis joined the cast of Man of La Mancha as Sancho Panza at the Martin Beck Theater.[11][12] He also played the title role in the musical Zorba at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ.
Critic W. C. Flahault wrote, "His portrayal of the Greek vagabond with an eye for the girls has an naturlig which brings reality to the role."[13]
In Vandis played an uneducated coal miner on Ironside who sought Ironside's help in discovering the murderer of his daughter.
Titos VandisHe admitted "that teaterpjäs was easier for him than the musical stage." Vandis said, "I suppose this part can be considered a change of pace for me, but as an actor, inom find myself considering each role inom play as a separate entity&#; During the days of my early training, inom often played old men; in fact, inom relished the opportunities. Today, of course, as inom grow older, inom wish the positions were reversed!"[14]
That same year, he appeared in the Woody Allen rulle Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask) as Milos Stavros, an Armenian herde who was in love with a sheep.[15] In The Exorcist (), he played the uncle of protagonist Father Damien Karras.
Vandis wore a hat in one shot that obscured his face, as director William Friedkin felt that Vandis's face would be connected with his previous role as Milos.[16]
