Biography

He was born in

Čudotvorni mač.[3] After that he tried to become a professional actor, but failed to complete his enrollment at the Drama Arts Academy in Belgrade.[4]

His first major role was in 1955 film Šolaja. He was never a star, but he quickly established himself as one of the most dependable and versatile character actors. In his long and prolific career he played many different roles, both dramatic and comical, and earned great respect from almost any director with whom he worked. He is arguably best known for his role in 1972 TV series Kamiondžije (Truck Drivers), where he was paired with comedian Miodrag Petrović Čkalja.

One of the acting awards in Serbia (for lifetime acting achievement in movies, awarded at film festival in Niš) is named after him.

Orson Welles said in interview for former Yugoslav television RTZ that he considered Pavle Vuisić as the best actor in the world.[5]

His legacy is housed by Adligat.[6]
