    Quotes

    Branko Tomovic
    • "I'm usually drawn to darker, grittier material. I'm attracted by broken people, tormented characters and lost souls. I usually find myself playing the "guys with sad eyes". Instead of going to a shrink you can let that all out in front of the camera and still hide behind the name of your character. A dream for me would be portraying Nikola Tesla, the Serbian inventor."
