Tolis Voskopoulos (Greek: Τόλης Βοσκόπουλος) (born 26 July 1940 Kokkinia, Piraeus ) is one of the legends of modern Greek music. He starred in many films and played in the Theatre in Athens. One of his greatest theatrical hits was Oi Erastes tou Oneirou (Dream Lovers) opposite Zoe Laskari. He now resides in Corfu Greece, where he gives concerts from time to time, some of them for charitable purposes. One of his latest charitable events was a spectacular free concert at the historic Palaio Frourio in Corfu in the summer of 2005.
