Andrei Gheorghe(1962-2018)
- Actor
- Additional Crew
Although born in Russia, Andrei Gheorghe is a Romanian 100%.
Schoolteacher by formation, mind-boggler by design, after trying the
most diverse jobs he errupted in the Romanian mass-media in the early
90s, as host of a local TV station, soon to be noticed and transferred
to an important Bucharest TV and radio station (ProTV/ProFM), where
he's actually a collaborator.
His trademark radio shows, 'Midnight Killer' and '13-14 with Andrei', established him as a provocative, iconoclast figure, ready to chastise stupidity and lack of culture and to applaud originality. The next, natural, step was choosing him as host of the Romanian version of "The Weakest Link", Lantul slabiciunilor (2001). He's a merciless host who's tormenting the competitors, but always ends the show with a wink. In 2001 he was noticed by Costa Gavras while filming Amen. (2002) in Romania and was cast as a French officer.
