Michael Constantine, the American actor who found countless uses for Windex as the patriarchal restaurant owner in the My Big Fat Greek Wedding films, has died at age 94, his representative confirmed on Thursday .
Nia Vardalos, who wrote and starred in the film, said Constantine was a joy to work with on the project. "I was more worried that they not do anything to insult the Greeks. To embarrass us. To make us look stupid or bad. Obviously, they didn't," he told The National Herald newspaper in 2016.Constantine was familiar to generations of TV viewers and appeared in a variety of roles in classic shows such as the Westerns Bonanza and Gunsmoke, the crime and courtroom dramas Perry Mason and Law And Order and the comedies The Love Boat and The Dick Van Dyke Show.
Constantine, the son of Greek immigrant parents, was born on May 22, 1927. He grew up in Reading in southeastern Pennsylvania, where his mother, the disciplinarian in the family, encouraged him to participate in school plays.
