Rade Šerbedžija

Rade Šerbedžija (born 27 July 1946) is a Croatian actor and director of ethnic Serbian descent. He became internationally famous mainly for his supporting roles in Hollywood films in the 1990s. His film career has been long both in his home country and elsewhere.

Šerbedžija was born in the village of Bunić, located between Korenica and Lički Osik in Lika. In 1969 he graduated from the Academy of Dramatic Arts of the University of Zagreb and then worked as a theatre actor in the theatre "Gavella" and at the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb.

He also acted on film as in TV series, and became known throughout former Yugoslavia. Šerbedžija had various notable film roles, among others in "U gori raste zelen bor" (1971), "Variola vera" (1981), "Kiklop" (1982), "Život je lep" (1985). He was also among the leading actors in several TV series, such as in "Prosjaci i sinovi" (1971), "U registraturi" (1976), "Nikola Tesla" (1977).

In the early 1990s, during the course of the Yugoslav wars, he acted in few films from various parts of former Yugoslavia, including the Macedonian film Before the Rain in 1994. Šerbedžija then also acted in various western European films, before he emigrated to the United States.

He is perhaps most often recognised by world audiences for his supporting roles in Hollywood films such as Mission: Impossible II, The Saint, Eyes Wide Shut, Snatch, the 2002 adaptation of The Quiet American, Batman Begins.

In 2001 he starred in an elaborate television production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's classic musical South Pacific in the role of the French plantation owner, Emile de Becque.

Starting in autumn of 2005, Šerbedžija will have a leading role in the NBC science fiction series Surface.

His name is sometimes spelled Rade Sherbedgia in film credits.
