In the world of film, Pavlou wrote and co-produced the cult classic movie The 51st State, which starred Samuel L. Jackson. This project was undertaken while he was working at a liquor store.
In his personal life, Pavlou is an avid scuba diver, having learned the skill specifically for his research on "Hunting Atlantis." He has since explored numerous classical, bronze age, and chalcolithic sites across Europe, including the famous Pavlopetri site in Greece.
