Film and television career

After becoming a member in the Yugoslav Drama Theatre in 1967, he and other now-prominent actors, became members of the so called "Bojan's babies" club which included actors that were part of a permanent engagement in the Yugoslav Drama Theatre.[5] Gutović's film career began in 1968, in the movie Bekstva.[6] His first main role in a movie was in Mića Milošević's movie Drugarčine, which was recorded in 1979.[6] Two years later, Gutović was contacted by Milošević to act in Laf u srcu where he played Srećko Šojić.[7] Gutović continued his role as Srećko Šojić in Tesna koža ("Tight Skin"), which was recorded in 1982.[6][8][9] His first major role on television was in the comedy series Diplomci, although, he earned more popularity in Bolji Život and Otvorena vrata.[6]

Between 2006 and 2011, he again portrayed Srećko Šojić in Bela lađa ("A White Boat"), which was a loose continuation of Tesna koža.[7][10] After leaving Bela lađa, he retired.[6]

Cabaret career

Gutović is also widely known around the world for his A usual evening cabaret, which he performed from the 1990s until his death.[11][12] His cabaret was the first show played in Serbian in the Broadway theatre.[12]
