    Melissanthi is so talented! She did such a great job portraying the character, Pavlina, in the movie Lacta: The Taste of Love. She's great at playing Kassandra in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and to me, I feel like Kassandra is a real person rather than just a video game character. May God bless you, Melissanthi Mahut and keep up the work with your incredible gift. You truly are fantastic at what you do.

      Funny enough, she actually made a better Deimos for me. As main character she's good, sure, but as Deimos...
      Basically see it like this: Kassandra is a pretty serious, sometimes funny main character. Alexios acts like a child if he's Deimos.
      Alexios is a bit funnier for me somehow and a bit more lighthearted, but Kassandra as Deimos is absolutely terrifying. She doesn't seem childish, she seems actually insane. Her performance as Kassandra was good, but her performance as Deimos was amazing.
      Just my opinion, ofc

    As the voice of Kassandra she was really the best ever. Without such compelling acting, the AC Odyssey game would not be the masterpiece that it is.

    Acting in a video game is fun, but very difficult. The director has to set the scene for you...is it day or night? Is it noisy? How many people are there with you? Is your character sitting on a bench or leaning against a wall? All of this determines how you capture the performance. You have to have a good imagination to be able to act these scenes out

    I think you are is clearly smart and open minded, and have a very likeable personality, certainly empathetic. But I just couldn't listen to the whole thing because you're so nervous and it started to make me nervous. These are things that as a gamer I probably didn't pay attention to. When people say "you didn't make it" they mean you couldn't compete in a Hollywood type of environment which demands lower levels of intelligence and higher levels of self assurance." Should be obvious that they value these qualities above what you do, and in a way, they are belittling who you are. I have a crazy proposition here. Maybe you should be the one looking down at the pathetic joke Hollywood has become, instead of asking for their approval. Smile and calmy brag "I'm a video game lead character actor. I do the acting on set, then it goes into a 3D interactive movie you can walk inside of. It's like a cinamtic video game. That's how they make all the superhero and action movies too except you cant actually do anything other than watch." If their jaws don't drop they probably didn't hear you.
