Earthy Greek-American character actor Titos Vandis was well represented by his short but meaty roles in two Jules Dassin films, Never on Sunday (1960) and Topkapi (1964). Vandis was a familiar Broadway presence, appearing in such scene-stealing parts as a reincarnation expert in Alan Jay Lerner's On a Clear Day You Can See Forever (1965). In American films, Vandis is best remembered for a brace of mid-1970s appearances. In Woody Allen's Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (1972), Titos Vandis played the psychiatric patient with an unnatural attachment to his pet sheep, while in The Exorcist (1974), he was seen as the uncle of the unfortunate Father Karras (Jason Miller).
