Kostas Gousgounis (in greek Kostas or Konstantinos Gouzgounis or Κώστας or Κωνσταντίνος Γκουσγκούνης, born 1931 in Larisa, Greece) is a legendary figure of 1970s Greek pornography. Many people consider him as the most important and historical personality in the Greek porn scene. In Greek every-day language, Gousgounis is used as an euphemism for "a male who has lots of sex". An actor not to be counted as a handsome stud with his bald head and big ears, which give him a Telly Savalas-meets-Yoda look, he has influenced Greek culture deeply in gender roles with his sexual performance and in slang with his popular dialogue in porn flicks. He has appeared in cult classics such as O Idonovlepsias (The Peeping Tom), Sklavos (Slave) et al. A retired pornographer for a long time, in 1996 he appeared in the award-winning Nikholas Triantafyllidis film Radio Moscow. He has also made a guest appearance in the popular Greek comedy series Tis Elados Ta Pedia (Greece's Boys). Gousgounis was the honored person in the 3rd Festival of Cult Greek Cinema which took place in Valentine's Day, Monday February 14, 2005.
