Branko "Đuro" Đurić (born May 28, 1962) is an actor and director from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Born to a Serb father and Bosniak mother in Sarajevo, Đurić rose to prominence throughout the former Yugoslavia with the hit comedy series Top lista nadrealista during the 1980s. Đuro became something of an epitome for a Bosnian person, especially due to his accent and slang. He was also the frontman of Sarajevo rock band Bombaj Štampa.
During the Yugoslav war he moved to Slovenia where he still resides.
Notable films where he appeared have included:
Time of the Gypsies (1988) (Dom za vešanje)
Kuduz (1989)
The Fall of Rock and Roll (1989) (Kako je propao rokenrol)
An Additional Soul (1991) (Ovo malo duše)
No Man's Land (2001) (Ničija zemlja)
Sour-cream and Jam (2003) (Kajmak in marmelada)
A Small World (2003) (Mali svet)
Bal-Can-Can (2005)
Currently, Ðurić is married to Slovenian actress Tanja Ribič with whom he played with in Kajmak in marmelada and lives and works in Slovenia, where he leads the Theatre 55, a film producing company.
He also works in Croatia, where he had a TV show Pet minuta slave (Five minutes of fame) on Nova TV, as well as the comedy series Naša mala klinika (Our little clinic), which is currently being aired on POP TV and Nova TV.
From February 2007, Ðurić has appeared on B92 television in Serbia in Ðurine žute minute short segments, a slightly different take on his widely popular "Ðurine kućne čarolije" sketch, which he performed in Top lista nedrealista. The segments mostly received poor reviews and were quickly taken off the air.
