Athens, GreeceOccupation actor, tenor Orestis Makris (Greek: Ορέστης Μακρής, September 30, 1898 in Chalcis - January 29, 1975 in Athens) was a Greek actor and tenor.
He graduated from the Greek Odeum of Athens and first entered the scene as a tenor in the troupe of Rosalia Nika in 1925.

Makris also participated in some forty movies, mostly in his trademark roles as a drunkard or an over-strict father.
