He then attended the Teachers’ Academy (majoring in English and literature) and the Academy of Dramatic Art, from which he graduated in 1971. Branko then worked as an actor at the Zagreb Youth Theater. He became a film actor at the same time and appeared in more that 10 films and 50+ TV and radio programs.

He won three acting awards during his career and was an avid boater sailing in many regattas on the Adriatic Sea. Branko died of cancer on November 5, 2003 in Zagreb, Croatia at the young age of 58.
