During the 1980s, he played notable roles in the film "Igmanski marš" (1983), the TV series "Sivi Dom" (1986), and one of the main roles in three sequels of the very popular film series Foolish Years, which profiled him as one of the most famous actors of the younger generation in the former Yugoslavia.
In 1992, he played the main role in Srđan Dragojević's film "Mi nismo anđeli" (We're Not Angels), for which he remains notable. He starred again in the 2005 sequel Mi nismo anđeli 2.
