Faruk Begolli (14 February 1944 – 22 August 2007) was a prominent Yugoslav and Kosovan actor.

Early life

Begolli attended high school in Pristina and graduated from the Academy of Film in Belgrade in 1966.

Begolli played in more than 60 films, starting with Veljko Bulajić's Pogled u zenicu Sunca (1966). He cooperated with director Puriša Đorđević in his films Podne (Noon), Jutro (The Morning), and San (The Dream), and his notable roles include Bitka na Neretvi, Čuvar plaže u zimskom periodu and Derviš i Smrt (The Dervish and Death).

His last major lead role was in Ekrem Kryeziu's Dashuria e Bjeshkëve të Nemuna (The Love of the Accursed Mountains, 1997), and his last appearance was in Etjet e Kosovës (Kosovo's Thirsts, 2006), for which he co-wrote the script.

Personal life

In the late 1980s, Begolli returned from Belgrade to Kosovo, where he worked as a professor at the Faculty of Drama of the University of Pristina.

Begolli was married to the Serbian ballerina for 17 years. Đoković took his surname, and kept it after the two divorced. Through Đoković, Begolli was the stepfather of the Serbian musician Relja Popović.
