TV and film regular Chris Diamantopoulos—he plays the villain opposite The Rock, Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds in Red Notice, which had the biggest opening day for any Netflix film in its history, and can currently be seen in the True Story series, opposite Kevin Hart and Wesley Snipes—never discounts the power of good skin. “I’ve been acting my whole life, and I’ve learned that your tools as an actor are pretty limited,” the 46-year-old shares. “The better you know them, the more confidently and freely you can go out and perform.

Chris Diamantopoulos was always an actor. Never held another job. He was working on the stage at an early age—touring companies, Broadway—then transitioned to television, film, and eventually voice overs. Never stopped. Some highlights: Russ Hanneman on Silicon Valley, Reinhold on Community, Moe in The Three Stooges, the official voice of Mickey Mouse, and right now you can see him playing bad guys in Netflix’s Red Notice and True Story. We recorded this interview hours before he started a new job and he takes us through what’s on his mind on the night before day one. He talks about how the voice is always the aspect he starts with when building a character, why going back to Broadway in a musical after many years was so challenging, the importance of keeping himself at a place of healthy neutrality, plus lessons learned from Brian Cranston, Kirk Russell, David Fincher and much more!

The man of a million voices discusses acting, risk-taking and convincing people (and yourself!) that you are the right person for the job.

Red Notice just became Netflix’s most watched movie of all time, and since its release on Nov. 24, the Kevin Hart-led miniseries True Story has topped the streamer’s domestic charts. The common thread between these two hit Netflix properties is that Chris Diamantopoulos plays a key antagonist in both. Starting with Rawson Marshall Thurber’s Red Notice, Diamantopoulos’ character, Sotto Voce, is an arms dealer who possesses the second of the three priceless (and fictional) eggs that once belonged to Cleopatra. The character was originally written to be South American, but as a Canadian actor of Greek descent, Diamantopoulos felt more...
