Takis Miliadis was born in Athens, Greece on 26 September 1922 into a theatrical and musical family.
As his father, Nikos, was an actor in musical theatre, and his mother, Marika Anthopoulou, was an opera singer, he was intensely exposed to theatrical acting during his childhood.
He studied theatre during the German Occupation, attending the school of the great acting teachers Kostas Bastias and Dimitris Rontiris.
At one point in his life he worked in Germany as a radio presenter, as part of a Greek-language broadcast.
Other than theatricals, films, radio and television broadcasts, he also did many refreshments in the Athens-Piraues time, with several number of reviews.
