Bio

Toronto native Argiris Karras landed his first major television role when he joined the cast of Degrassi in 2008.

The younger of two, Argiris fell in love with acting in grade 10 drama classes. Argiris' other credits include What's The Beef?, Don Juan, Cities of the Underworld and Lookalike, where he was made over to be Justin Timberlake. Argiris also starred in Grease and The Glass Menagerie at the East York Collegiate Institute. Argiris looks up to actors Leonardo Dicaprio, Christian Bale and Johnny Depp. In 2008, Argiris traveled to Ecuador with the organization "Free The Children". A documentary of the trip was made for MTV in Canada

Riley Stavros
Riley's still the Alpha male and top jock at Degrassi-- though he'll find that position challenged this year by a new rival. As he continues his struggle out of the closet, he'll find that the more people he confides in about his sexuality, the more comfortable he feels. While not sure he's ready to come out fully, he is interested in exploring what it means to be gay, both in how he conducts himself and how he presents himself. If that's not enough pressure on a young man, he's also worried about graduating, sports, friends, and scholarships.

charcter
It is great to see a show openly express the hardships surrounding being openly homosexual. It also takes an amazing actor/actress to portray an openly homosexual character, so props to you man!
