was an Italian film, stage and television actor.

Cassinelli had begun his career in theater, later dedicating himself to film and television work.

Cassinelli died in Page, Arizona, at 46, during the filming of a scene in Sergio Martino's Vendetta dal futuro, while he was on a helicopter that due to pilot error crashed into Navajo Bridge. He left three children, Sebastiano, Filippo and Giovanni.
