Dragan Bjelogrlić (Драган Бјелогрлић) (born on October 10, 1963 in Opovo, Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia) is a Serbian actor.

[edit] Career

Simultaneous to moving from Opovo to Belgrade to continue his studies, 14-year-old Bjelogrlić also debuted in movies playing a memorable role of Sava Jovanović Sirogojno in Boško Buha, a 1978 film that achieved sizable popularity. He followed that up in the coming years with other roles in TV series, short, and feature films.

By mid-1980s, Bjelogrlić was an established young actor in SFR Yugoslavia. In 1985 he appeared in Bal na vodi as part of an ensamble cast of his peers such as Srđan Todorović, Nebojša Bakočević, Goran Radaković, and Gala Videnović.

In 1987, he became one of the central cast members on the hugely popular sitcom/soap opera Bolji život. Playing the role of Boba Popadić made Bjelogrlić a bona fide recognizable star all across the country.

He is considered somewhat of a "Serbian Robert Redford", by many. His monotone voice and tired face leads him to be cast as a gangster or criminal figure in movies. His brother Goran Bjelogrlić is a film producer..
