He has also acted in five films.
The person who discovered Bezos first was Thymios Karakatsanis, at a performance at Smaroula theatre.
Initially, he worked with Aliki Vougiouklaki on stage.

In March 2009, the theatrical hit La Cage Aux Folles, a Jean Poiret French musical, starring Bezos, made its premiere at Pallas theatre, with direction by Stamatis Fasoulis.
Bezos is also famous for his singing, which he often demonstrates while performing.
