Along with his work on the upcoming series Pearson, Simon Kassianides has starred in the James Bond feature Quantum of Solace and was a recurring actor on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Simon Kassianides on The Princess Bride and The Deer Hunter:

“I would say The Princess Bride because as a kid I was the spitting image of Fred Savage. I fell in love with Robin Wright then and I still love her. I watch that film the most. My favorite film, after that – I have to be greedy – is The Deer Hunter. It changed my life. The dynamics of friendship and the pain of war which luckily I haven’t experienced directly but my family did. Understanding those dynamics is heartbreaking. I’ve chose two because I’m greedy, but The Princess Bride would come first.”
