Dobrić, Petar

Petar Dobrić in Il ratto delle sabine (1961)

Petar Dobrić was a stern-looking Croatian small-part character actor. He was active in films and television shot in Yugoslavia, including many Italian and international co-productions, between the years 1960-1983.

His unconfirmed details found on IMDb and Wikipedia are that he was born on June 26th 1923 in Osijek, Yugoslavia (now Croatia) and died on February 8th 1992, aged 68, in Zagreb, Croatia.

No other biographical details are currently known.

I have found a couple of undocumented appearances by Petar in Italian productions shot in Yugoslavia, so it is very possible there could be more.

No Dobrić!

Titles where Petar is credited with appearing somewhere online, but cannot be found. There always has to be one!

• Odissea (1968) TV mini-series. IMDb as Polite. I've been through this series many times and have never identified Petar.
• Oko (1978) IMDb with no role. There is a "Pero Dobric" credited, but Petar is nowhere in sight so this presumably refers to another actor.

Maciste nella valle dei Re (1960) credited, as High priest.

This is currently Petar's earliest known role, but it is very possible there could be earlier roles to be found.

Febbre di rivolta (1961) as Paco.

Petar is not listed in the French credits, but may possibly be in other versions.

I tartari (1961) as Ciu Lang henchman

[PeplumParadise]

Il ratto delle sabine (1961) credited as "P. Dobric" in the French credits, as Numa

Role corrected - IMDb gets it wrong again!

[PeplumParadise]

La furia di Ercole (1962) credited as "Ivan Dobric". I need to re-check his role to confirm, but I think he is some kind of a Royal advisor.

[PeplumParadise]

La rivolta dei barbari (1964) Role uncertain

[PeplumParadise]
