Andrew Michael Milonakis (born January 30, 1976, in Katonah, New York) is a Greek-American comedian who plays the role of a young boy on his television show, "The Andy Milonakis Show", which is now mostly played on the MTV2 channel. He has a congenital growth-hormone condition that gives him the outward appearance and voice of a pre-adolescent boy.

Milonakis has started a non-profit organization for those suffering from his condition. The purpose of his organization is to increase awareness of this disease and to find newer and better treatments for the condition. The organization is called Andy's Hormonally Deficient Kiddos.

Milonakis' fame began as an Internet phenomenon after he released home webcam recordings of freestyle rhyming, humor videos, and short films. Some of these include "Crispy New Freestyle" and "The Super Bowl Is Gay."
