He performed with Richard Harris in Julius Caesar in Scranton, PA, and worked with Woody Allen in the movie Everybody Says I Love You. His TV credits include, most notably, several episodes of The Guiding Light. Ashiotis sits on the Board of the Alliance of Resident Theatres of New York. "A man's fear of his fate is often his fate. Leaping to avoid it, he meets it." This performance is dedicated to the memory of Evanthia Ashiotis. "For you, Ma!"
