    Even though undoubtedly one of the best Yugoslavian actors of all time, Rade Šerbedžija was a man of the people. He was extremely famous but lived a normal life. No one could have imagined that things would rapidly change and he’d have to leave his native country.

    Before we dive into his impressive career and fascinating life story, let’s address his beginnings.
