He is 100% Calabrian. He portrayed a Greek person in My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Which kind of Greek would he pass as?

He looks like he's from Northern Aegean (Lesbos) or Cyclades. More Aegean than Peloponnese. No noticeable Slavic shift in his appearance (like some Messinians, Arcadians, Patras or Argolis) and more Southern Italian than most Western shifted Peloponnesians who tend look more Central Italian. I don't know because maybe I'm narrow in my viewpoint but most Messinians I've been around don't have noses quite like that. Also something about his eyes that show slight Levantine shift (I believe).

In My Big Fat Greek Wedding, the family (him included) is from Mykonos. So he is supposed to be Cyclades.
