Dragan "Bjela" Bjelogrlić (Serbian Cyrillic: Драган "Бјела" Бјелогрлић, pronounced [drǎɡan bjěːla bjelǒɡr̩litɕ]; born 10 October 1963) is a Serbian actor, director and producer.

Career

Bjelogrlić made his acting debut as a 15-year old, playing Sava Jovanović Sirogojno in Boško Buha, a 1978 film that achieved sizable popularity.[1]

He followed that up in the coming years with other roles in TV series, short, and feature films. By the mid-1980s, Bjelogrlić was an established young actor in SFR Yugoslavia. In 1985 he appeared in Bal na vodi as part of an ensemble cast featuring Srđan Todorović, Nebojša Bakočević, Goran Radaković, and Gala Videnović.[2]

In 1987, he became one of the central cast members on the hugely popular drama television series Bolji život, playing the role of Boba Popadić. His brother Goran Bjelogrlić is a film producer. His 2010 film, Montevideo, God Bless You!, was selected as the Serbian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 84th Academy Awards,[3] but did not make the final shortlist.[4] The film's sequel, See You in Montevideo, was released in 2014.
