“I pissed off Greeks, particularly in my family, for years to come, because I popularized the word "malaka," which hitherto had not been known outside of the community. It's basically "jack off," you know? Masturbator. So I remember my mother was not pleased at the time. She was, like, "Oh, John, couldn't you have used a better word?" There's no better word, Mom!” KnowsYearsRememberUsedMotherCommunityKnownMomMy FamilyGreekPissed Off Author:John Kapelos
“My dad was a lovely guy. I had great parents. But he was a conservative shopkeeper, and he said, "Look, I don't know how to help you as an actor, but if you want to be an actor, give it a go for a year. Get a job. And if you don't get a job, then we're going to reevaluate and you're going to go back to school." And I thought that was a fair thing.” IfsKnowsWantGivingYearsLooksSaidHelpingSchoolJobsGuyActorsParentKnow HowDadFairsMy DadConservativeLovelyGreat ParentsShopkeepers Author:John Kapelos
