Davor Dujmović (20 September 1969 â€" 31 May 1999) was a Bosnian

actor best known for his memorable roles in Emir Kusturica's movies as

Mirza in When Father Was Away on Business, Perhan in Time of the

Gypsies and Bata in Underground.Born into a poor working-class family,

Dujmović's acting career started purely by chance in 1984 when

Miroslav Mandić, one of Emir Kusturica's assistant directors in

charge of casting roles for When Father Was Away on Business,

approached the youngster about being in the movie. The chance run-in

took place at Dalmacija, a kafana near Sarajevo's Markale farmers'

market, where Dujmović happened to be while visiting his father who

had been operating a produce stand there. Upon seeing the young man in

public, Kusturica's AD Mandić immediately thought fourteen-year-old

Davor could potentially be perfect for the role of Mirza, the older

son in the movie. After jointly convincing the teenager's father to

let him audition, Kusturica and Mandić arranged a screen test that

Dujmović aced and got the role.Following the film's great critical

acclaim and commercial success, Dujmović attempted to enroll at

Sarajevo's Academy of Performing Arts (ASU) under the dean tenure of

Boro Stjepanović. However, after getting rejected at the audition,

the youngster got discouraged and never tried again. He continued

getting film roles, though, such as the one in Zlatko Lavanić's

(another one of Kusturica's ADs) directorial debut Strategija švrake.

Kusturica also continued working with Dujmović, giving him a lead in

Time of the Gypsies â€" a 1988 movie that would make twenty-year-old

Davor well known across former Yugoslavia for his indelible portrayal

of a young Gypsy named Perhan. He also started doing theatre,

appearing in 1989 alongside Haris Burina, Maja Mijatović, and Jelena

ÄŒović in MjeseÄ eva predstava, a play put together by Mladen

Materić at Otvorena scena Obala, a theater founded by Materić a few

years earlier.The role of Perhan made Dujmović a recognizable star

and ensured film roles would continue coming his way â€" Adam

ledolomak, Aleksa Šantić, Belle epoque - Posljednji valcer u

Sarajevu, Sarajevske priÄ e, Prokleta je Amerika. During this time he

also became a cast member for the third season of the Yugoslav comedy

TV sketch show Top lista nadrealista, which aired in late 1991.
