Pantelis Kassotis

Pantelis Nikolaos Kassotis is a Greek/Canadian animator and media executive best known in the video game world as the host of Amazon Prime Video's Wednesday Addiction (2017) and for his work with the Overwatch League (2017). Born in Athens, Greece he graduated from Lyceum of Agios Stefanos and then attended the University of the Aegean in the island of Chios to study business administration. In 2021 he made his debut as a video game developer by launching Gluttony (2021), a mobile game where players have to eat vegetables and avoid unhealthy foods with an increasing difficulty. Back in his high school years he dreamed of becoming a professional painter and took afternoon classes to prepare for the Athens School of Fine Arts but eventually went to business school to appease his family. As a way to express his frustration he started writing and eventually created his first comic book "Eric & Erica" which he presented at the Comicdom Con Athens of 2014. This comic book helped him pursue a writing career first as a contributor at CollegeHumor and Dorkly back when they accepted submissions from their readers and eventually BuzzFeed and Funny Or Die. At Funny Or Die he challenged himself by switching to a video format and later created the sketch comedy show Just Funny (2017), his first animation project.
