Michael Constantine, Dad in ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding,’ Dies at 94.
“I just knew I belonged there,” Mr.
Constantine told Odyssey, an English-language magazine about Greek life, in 2011.
“They could make fun of this hick from Pennsylvania, but I just belong here — this is me.”
The young Mr.
Constantine studied acting with Howard da Silva, supporting himself with odd jobs, among them night watchman and shooting-gallery barker.
He became an understudy to Paul Muni playing the character modeled on the famed defense lawyer Clarence Darrow in “Inherit the Wind,” which opened on Broadway in 1955.

In “Compulsion” — a 1957 Broadway dramatization of Meyer Levin’s novel about the Leopold and Loeb murder case — Mr.
Constantine took over the role of the defense lawyer from Frank Conroy just before opening night.
(Mr.
Conroy withdrew after suffering a heart attack during previews.)
“Michael Constantine gives an excellent performance as the prototype of Clarence Darrow,” Brooks Atkinson wrote in The New York Times.
