Christos Efthymiou (Greek: Χρήστος Ευθυμίου, Lamia, 3 August 1900 - 4 May 1971) was a Greek comedian actor of theatre and cinema. He was a graduate of the Athens Law School and in 1929 he studied at the professional theatre school, from which he graduated with honors after four years of study. In 1929 he made his first theatrical appearance with the Cybele troupe and two years later he was invited as a founding member of the Royal Theatre, where he served as a key figure and as one of its leading actors. From this position he excelled as a comedian, especially in works by Molière and Shakespeare, but also in characteristic Greek folklore roles in Greek works. His presence in Greek cinema was also noteworthy. His roles in the films The Woman and A Fool and a Half are the ones for which he is most remembered. Also characteristic was his long-term participation in daily afternoon radio five-minute parlaments with the catchphrase "Oh, what am I doing!" In 1952, he was particularly honored by the French Government for his excellent interpretation of Moliere's plays with the Order of the Academic Laurels. After the death of Vasilis Logothetides in 1960, he was placed at the head of the late popular comedian's troupe. Two years later, he was honored with a relevant order by King Paul.
