Žarko Laušević (Serbian Cyrillic: Жарко Лаушевић; Serbian pronunciation: [ʒǎːrkɔ lâuʃɛʋitɕ]) (born 19 January) is a Serbian actor. He became a leading actor early in his career. By the age of 33, he was a major star across the former Yugoslavia on both stage and screen. In the late 1990s, Laušević left Yugoslavia for the United States. It is speculated that the move was made due to possible revenge by families of the deceased. He lived in the United States for two decades, returning to Serbia in 2014.
