Bjelogrlic debuted playing a memorable role of Sava Jovanovic Sirogojno in Bosko Buha, a 1978 film that achieved sizeable popularity. In 1985 he appeared in Bal Na Vodi. In 1987, he acte in a popular drama television series Bolji Zivot. His monotone voice and tired face leads him to be cast as a gangster or criminal figure in movies such as Rane (The Wounds), where he plays a hot-headed Serbian mafioso, with a short temper that only Dragan Bjelogrlic could provide for the movie that's considered one of the cult Serbian gangster movies, especially it being a focus on the Yugoslav Wars. His 2010 film Montevideo, God Bless You! was selected as the Serbian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 84th Academy Awards, but it did not make the final shortlist. The sequel, See You in Montevideo, was released in 2014. We hope you enjoy our show and we look forward to you joining us on OMNI Television.
