Branko ÄuriÄ
Acting
āFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Branko "Äuro" ÄuriÄ (born May 28, 1962) is a Bosnian actor, director and musician from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Born to a Serb father and Bosniak mother in Sarajevo, ÄuriÄ rose to prominence throughout the former Yugoslavia with the hit comedy series Top Lista Nadrealista during the 1980s. Äuro became something of an epitome for the Bosnian people, primarily due to his accent and slang. He was also one of the founding members of SCH (band) and the frontman of Sarajevo rock band Bombaj Å tampa. During the Yugoslav wars he moved to Slovenia. Notable films where he appeared have included: Time of the Gypsies (1988) (Dom za veÅ”anje) Kuduz (1989) The Fall of Rock and Roll (1989) (Kako je propao rokenrol) An Additional Soul (1991) (Ovo malo duÅ”e) No Man's Land (2001) (NiÄija zemlja) Kajmak and Marmalade (2003) (Kajmak i marmelada) A Small World (2003) (Mali svet) Bal-Can-Can (2005) Triage (2009) Currently, ĆuriÄ is married to Slovenian actress Tanja RibiÄ with whom he played with in Kajmak in marmelada and lives and works in Slovenia, where he leads Theatre 55, a film production company. He also works in Croatia, where he had a TV show Pet Minuta Slave (Five Minutes of Fame) on Nova TV, as well as the comedy series NaÅ”a mala klinika (Our Little Clinic), which is currently being aired on POP TV and Nova TV. In February 2007, ĆuriÄ has appeared on B92 television in Serbia in Ćurine žute minute short segments, a slightly different take on his widely popular "Ćurine kuÄne Äarolije" sketch, which he performed in Top Lista Nadrealista. The segments mostly received poor reviews and were quickly taken off the air. In December 2008, he reunited with Bombaj Å tampa for a concert in Sarajevo featuring original guitarist Nedim BaboviÄ and drummer Dragan BajiÄ along with bassist Ernie Mendillo (The Brandos). More concerts followed and an album of new material will be released in the Spring of 2010.
