Biography He was born in Lamia, Greece in 1950. As a child, Vasilou worked at various jobs, along with school. Vasileiou was also playing soccer with PAS Lamia 1964 and he was goalkeeper. During 1970–71 season, he faced AEK Athens F.C. Despite the 1–4 defeat, AEK wanted to join him, but the proposal was declined by his club. That led him to retire from soccer. He studied at the Drama School of Giorgos Bellos where he graduated with honors. On 17 November 1973, during the Athens Polytechnic uprising in 1973, he met his wife, Lia Thermogianni, then a student of Athens Law School, whom he married four years later and had two children.

In the early 1990s, and after many appearances in plays, movies and television shows, he met Nikos Foskolos, who has since called Vasilou teacher and who confided important roles, most notably that of Stathis Theocharis in the daily series Καλημέρα Ζωή.

During the Greek parliamentary elections of 2004, he was elected by the New Democracy party for deputy. Since 2007, after being deputy in parliament, he continued to work in theater and television. In November 2011, he announced his membership in the Democratic Alliance party and was a resident in the constituency of Piraeus. During the last 12 years of his life, he resided in Salamina with his wife.
