Milan Gutović (; 11 August 1946 – 25 August 2021) was a Serbian and Yugoslav actor, cabaret performer and television personality.
He is best known for his portrayal of Srećko Šojić in Tesna koža and Bela lađa.
Early life and education
Gutović was born on 11 August 1946, in a Belgrade suburban neighborhood of Umka. He graduated from the High School of Electrical Engineering "Nikola Tesla" in Belgrade, where he earned the nickname "Lane". Initially, Gutović wanted to study at the Faculty of Mathematics, although he later enrolled in the Belgrade Academy for theater, cinema, radio and television, from which he graduated in 1967. Later that year, he became a member of the Yugoslav Drama Theatre.
Career
Film and television career
After becoming a member in the Yugoslav Drama Theatre in 1967, he and other now-prominent actors, became members of the so-called "Bojan's babies" club which included actors that were part of a permanent engagement in the Yugoslav Drama Theatre. His first main role in a movie was in Mića Milošević's movie Drugarčine, which was recorded in 1979. Gutović continued his role as Srećko Šojić in Tesna koža ("Tight Skin"), which was recorded in 1982. His first major role on television was in the comedy series Diplomci, although, he earned more popularity in Bolji Život and Otvorena vrata. After leaving Bela lađa, he retired. Gutović also had a daughter Milica, an actress and ballerina from his first marriage. Gutović had an older sister called Bojana. Later in his life, he moved to Kumodraž, and in his last years he was often seen camping and fishing.
He was also an outspoken critic of Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić and his regime.
Death
In June 2021, Gutović contracted COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Serbia and had to cancel all of his shows. He died on 25 August 2021, 14 days after his 75th birthday.
