Bio
of Michael Rady is very limited because he is still relatively
unknown. At least
you are given a few morsels like his birthdate (August 20, 1981)
and a couple of hobbies (gardening and surfing) according to
imdb.com. In July
2006, Michael Rady is almost 25 years old.
In an
interview below, he does reveal that he was from “Philly”
and had to go back home, pack, get his passport, to get ready
for the trip to Greece.

Michael
Rady on Getting the Role of Kostas in "Sisterhood of the
Traveling Pants: "Newcomer Michael Rady scored a prime role as Alexis
Bledel's Greek boyfriend in the film version of Ann Brashares'
popular novel, "Sisterhood
of the Traveling Pants." Rady says playing Bledel's
boyfriend and getting to shoot in Greece were pretty much
dreams come true.
"They
wanted to do everything on location, everything authentic Greek.
I woke up one day and I was told to go home, go back to Philly -
because I was living in New York. 'Go home to Philly. Get your
underwear, your passport. There will be a limo in the driveway
to take you to the airport. You’re going to get on a plane to
Greece. You’ll be in Greece in 24 hours,'" recalls Rady.
Michael
Rady on Picking up the Greek Accent: "We had four days. They flew a dialect coach in from London
and we just sat there morning, noon and night, all day long
working the accent. We’d go out to lunch and I had to use the
accent. It was very intense, very intensive. Normally it takes
like five months to work on. We were a little cramped for time
– four days."
On
Working with Alexis Bledel: "She was a doll. She’s so cute and sweet and dear and
beautiful and quirky. She just kept me laughing the whole
time."
Downtime
in Greece: "There wasn’t much time. On location you’re just shoot,
shoot, shoot. We had one day off and I think we both kind of
crashed and passed out that day."
Michael
Rady on What the Filmmakers Saw in Him That Made Him the Right
Choice to Play a Greek Teen: "I don’t know. One person in my life in a passing
conversation said, 'Oh, you look Greek.' So when I went to
audition for this I was like, 'That person – they’re going
to laugh if I get this.' (Laughing) I don’t know what it was
they saw."
