Thomas Oikonomou (Greek: Θωμάς Οικονόμου, 1864â€"1927)
was a Greek actor and one of the first modern Greek directors.Son of
the writer Aristeidos Oikonomou, Oikonomou was born in Vienna, Austria
in what was then a part of Austrian Empire in 1864 and studied and
begun his career as an actor. He arrived in Greece in 1900-1901 and
begun as a professor at the Dramatic School what was then Royal
Theatre and (after the separation of Angelos Vlahos) as a director. He
knew the young Marika Kotopouli who he acted together in an erotic
part and became a protagonist of that company. In 1906, he left the
Royal Theatre with Marika Kotopouli and worked together at Marika's
father's company Dimitris Kotopoulis where he directed and presented
the new productions at the Athenian theatre. His luck was crowned by
the critics and a loud noise at failed receipts that made Oikonomou in
theatrical productions and his works to collapse. From 1918 until
1922, he worked at the Athens Odeum as professor and journalist of the
company. Between all students he taught and Dimitris Rontiris. His
contribution at the Greek theatre as a director and a hypocrite as
well as mainly from the student's spot thought he was fixed. He died
in 1927.Georgiou Michalis, H Î¸ÎµÎ±Ï„Ï Î¹ÎºÎ® Î´Ï Î¬ÏƒÎ· του
