Louis Mandylor (born Louis Theodosopoulos; 13 September 1966) is an Australian film and television actor. He is best recognized as Nick Portokalos in My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002), a role he reprised in the sequel My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (2016).
Mandylor was born in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, the son of Greek immigrants Louise (née Mandylaris) and Yannis Theodosopoulos, a taxi driver. He is the younger brother of fellow actor Costas Mandylor. He and his brother took a shorter version of their mother's last name citing their last name as being too long.
He played for Heidelberg United FC (Megas Alexandros) in their 1988 State League championship team. He also played five National League games in 1989 and scored one goal.
Mandylor is probably most famous for his role in the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002); he reprised his role in its spin-off TV series My Big Fat Greek Life (2003) and the movie sequel My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (2016).
He has enjoyed success in US television shows, such as a prominent guest appearance on Relic Hunter with Tia Carrere. Other major roles include playing Louis Malone in Martial Law alongside Sammo Hung. However, the show only lasted two seasons, with Mandylor being dropped at the end of its first season. Mandylor appeared in the sitcom Friends, pretending to be Joey's twin in "The One With Unagi". He appeared twice on CSI: Miami; in the third season (2004) as a robber/killer, and in a different role in the eighth season (2009).
