John Anastassakis was born in 1933 on Crete. His family reduced their surname to Aniston when he was 10.

“Love of Life” and “Search for Tomorrow” were his big breaks. He became a household name as “romantic villain” Victor Kiriakis on “Days of our Lives” in 1985.

During his soap opera appearances, Aniston started a restaurant in New York, divorced his first wife, Nancy Dow, and married costar Sherry Rooney.

Aniston was surprised his daughter wanted to be a performer. Aniston stated his daughter was phoning his agent for auditions when he was on “Search for Tomorrow”

“I told her, ‘Don’t go into show business.’” He remarked, “Showbiz stinks.” “I tell everyone who wants to be an actor: Don’t. If my encouraging them to leave show business keeps them out, they shouldn’t be in it.”

Aniston’s daughter didn’t listen and become one of the world’s most renowned actors.

In a 1990 interview with E! News, Aniston praised his daughter and cautioned her that brilliance doesn’t necessarily lead to a lengthy career.
