Vukan Pejovic Actor
I am a Montenegrin actor born on July 25, 1995, in Cetinje, the Old Royal Capital of Montenegro. I hold a Specialist Degree in Acting from the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Cetinje, where I trained under some of the leading figures of Montenegrin theatre and cinema.
Since my professional debut in 2016, I have built an extensive career across theatre, film and television, working with Montenegro's most prestigious institutions — the Montenegrin National Theatre, the Royal Theatre Zetski Dom, and the City Theatre Podgorica — as well as on international co-productions.
My theatre work spans a wide range of styles and traditions, from classical drama to contemporary and physical theatre. I bring particular strength to psychologically complex, emotionally demanding roles, and am equally at home in comedy, tragedy and physical performance. I am physically active and trained in combat and swordsmanship. I hold a full driving licence and am confident operating cars, motorcycles, quads and riding horses.
I speak English, Russian and Italian in addition to my native Montenegrin.
Off set and off stage, I love to play guitar and I am a lover of animals — dogs especially. I believe that curiosity and a commitment to growth, both as an artist and as a person, are what keep the work alive.

Guest Role
During the COVID-19 pandemic, a young man tries to hook up with his girlfriend. Over family lunch, she introduces him through a photo — wearing a mask. Her mother vouches for him: good family, always masked, sanitizes, washes his hands. The father admits he's handsome, but warns his daughter to keep at least two meters distance. In the next scene, the two are alone in the car — he leans in to kiss her, but it's her father in disguise. He sprays him in the eyes: it's corona. Keep your distance.

Gay crises, Oedipal mothers, midlife meltdowns, unresolved lesbian love — he deals with all of it the only logical way: a samurai sword. He steals their Harley-Davidson and rides into the sunset, fulfilling the dream he came for.
