Ivan Rassimov
Biography
Ivan Rassimov was an actor who trained at the University at Trieste, performed military service in Italy, and later settled in Rome to act. He began with small parts, among them a role for Mario Bava in Planet of the Vampires (1965). With intense eyes and a striking presence, he was often cast as villains, including Nazi soldiers, tough men, and murder suspects. He sometimes played sympathetic characters, which he saw as a change from his usual bad guy roles. In Mario Bava's last theatrical feature, Beyond the Door II (1977), he played a police detective, an archaeologist, and a psychiatrist. Rassimov was also a regular presence in Italian cannibal films, acting with Me Me Lai in three such pictures, especially Jungle Holocaust (1977). He largely retired from acting by 1987 and afterward ran a publishing company that produced comic books and novels before he died in 2003.
