Darko Ostojić (Serbian Cyrillic: Дарко Остојић; born 23 March 1965), known by his nickname Ogi, is a Bosnian musician and actor.

He first found mainstream success for his portrayal of Minka and Cane Prebranac in the TV Sarajevo sketch comedy series Top lista nadrealista.[1] Furthermore, during the late 1980s, he was a member of the garage rock band Zabranjeno Pušenje.[2][3][4] His other TV roles include Složna braća and Nadreality Show.

Early life

[edit]

Born in Sarajevo, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia to a classical violinist father, Kamenko Ostojić, and architect mother, Laura, who worked in the wood industry, Ostojić was raised in the neighbourhood of Mejtaš with a younger brother, Dejan.[5][6]

Growing up in a family with a professional musician and constantly exposed to music, simultaneous to his elementary and secondary (gymnasium) education, young Ostojić took up acoustic bass and bass guitar. He would also often be brought along by his father to different Yugoslav music festivals, such as Opatija [hr] and Beogradsko proleće [sr], where his father performed.[6]

Career

[edit]

In 1980, Ostojić and his friend Dado Džihan formed a rock band with a spiritual touch called Nirvana, later changed to Cyclone. A few years later, both of them joined garage rock band Zabranjeno Pušenje.[5]

Ostojić joined Zabranjeno Pušenje in 1987.[7] He performed on their two studio albums in the 1980s; Pozdrav iz zemlje Safari (1987)[8] and Male priče o velikoj ljubavi (1989).[9] In 1990, he parted ways with the band together with other members.[10]

In 1988, Ostojić made his acting debut in the TV Sarajevo family television series Tragom ptice dodo directed by Timothy John Byford.[1] The following year, he joined Top lista nadrealista ahead of the show's second series.

Most recently, Ostojić has been playing double bass for the Sarajevo Philharmonic Orchestra.[11] He also performend in the orchestra from 1996 to 2002.[1]
