Kassianides was born in London, the son of Helen Kassianides and Mario Kassianides, both business owners. Kassianides has an older brother Photis Kassianides who works in finance.
Kassianides was brought up in Clapham and educated at Dulwich College. At the University of Edinburgh he was producer and executive producer of a sold out run of Grease at the George Square theatre. Profits were donated to the Macmillan Cancer Trust.
In 2002 soon after Kassianides graduated with honors in International Business with Finance and while in London helping his mother open Urban Coffee, a fair trade and organic coffee shop in Tooting Broadway, he was spotted by BAFTA award winning producer Piers Vellacott.
Kassianides started a course at London's Central School of Speech and drama but had to leave after being offered a role in the Tennessee Williams' play Night of the Iguana. His performance as Pedro was acclaimed by critics.
