Born in Trieste to Serbian parents, Velimir and Vera Djerasimović (née Petrijević), he attended the Slovenian scientific lyceum (realna gimnazija s slovenskim ucnim jezikom) in Trieste. He made his film debut in 1964 after graduating from university and Actors' Studio in Rome. Mostly cast in villainous roles, he appeared in Mario Bava's Planet of the Vampires (1965), Sergio Martino's Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key (1972), Umberto Lenzi's Man from Deep River (1972) and Eaten Alive! (1980), Mario Gariazzo's The Eerie Midnight Horror Show (1974), and Ruggero Deodato's Last Cannibal World (1977), among many other titles.

His twin sister, Rada Rassimov, is a film actress. He has a younger brother Milorad (born in 1945), who is a retired music professor, living in Trieste.

Biography

Nés de parents croates à Trieste, Ivan Rassimov et sa sœur cadette, Rada Rassimov, décident de se lancer dans la carrière d'acteurs. Ivan étudie à l'Université de Trieste. Après son service militaire en Italie, il s'établit à Rome. Il commence par une série de petits rôles, par exemple dans La Planète des vampires de Mario Bava.

Son regard perçant et son visage taillé au couteau lui valent d'être souvent choisi pour des rôles de "méchants", du soldat nazi au brigand de western et au suspect de meurtre des films policiers. Curieusement, il sera choisi par Sara Montiel pour lui donner la réplique dans Soledad (Esa Mujer) où il est un gentil, élégant et racé, rôle qui lui convient parfaitement, mais qui restera sans suite. Il assumera rarement un rôle de héros, comme dans le dernier film de Mario Bava, Shock (1977) où il joue un psychiatre. Il est bien présent dans la mode des films cannibales italiens, aux côtés de Me Me Lai, comme dans Jungle Holocaust (1977).

À partir de 1987, il se retire du cinéma, pour vivre dans sa villa du nord de Rome avec son épouse et sa fille adolescente. Il travaille dans une maison d'édition, jusqu'à sa mort en 2003.

Dora Baldini (Daria Nicolodi), her son Marco (David Colin Jr.) and her new husband Bruno Baldini (John Steiner) move into Dora's former home, from her first marriage, after Dora is released from a mental institution following the mysterious death of Dora's abusive first husband. With Bruno away as a commercial airline pilot, Dora is left alone with her son Marco and her shattered memory of the events of her husband's death, caused by extensive electroshock treatment she received while institutionalized. Her insanity grows when she believes that her son has become possessed by the ghost of his deceased father, leading to Dora learning the truth about her first husband's death: she murdered him after he forcibly injected her with heroin and LSD. When she contacted Bruno for help, he arranged for her dead husband's body to be dumped out in the ocean while arranging for Dora to be placed in an insane asylum, as the drugs injected into her caused her to have a nervous breakdown. Now killing her new husband, Dora is compelled by her husband's ghost (and her guilt) to commit suicide. The ending shows Marco, the sole survivor, having tea with his parents' ghosts (who are invisible).
