Millions of fans are eagerly waiting the American adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s best-seller “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”. The film is directed by David Fincher and stars Croatian- American actor Goran Visnjic, who was entrusted with the role of Dragan of Armenia - the owner of the insurance company.
It has already been revealed that Goran Visnjic, originally from Sibenik, Croatia will play the role of Dragan, the owner of the insurance company, and the main character Lisbeth is played by the ultra talented Rooney Mara. For an interview with Moviefone the actor revealed how he felt on the set of this big-budget project, working with a renowned director.
An article states how Goran Visnjic even stayed on the set after his scenes were filmed, because he enjoyed watching the people work on this project. For the Croatian actor this is one of the most interesting projects he has ever seen. Luckily, his character is represented in all three books, so hopefully will get to see him in the next film.
Regarding David Fincher, Visnjic had stated that he is one of the greatest professional in the entertainment industry.
As he describes, Fincher is one of those who can sense when an actor is at a standstill. You might thing you’re doing well, but somehow you miss something special. And you do not even know what that is, as you cannot point a finger at it, but he is ready to jump in and just open your eyes. It was a really exciting set, explained Visnjic.
American audience best remembers Visnjic as Dr Luka Kovac, who replaced George Clooney in the hit series “ER.” Since then Goran Visnjic has appeared on many films including The Deep End, Ice age, Practical Magic, Elektra and many more.
He was also part of the movie “The Counselor” directed by Ridley Scott with an impressive cast list which apart from Goran Visnjic included actors and actresses Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, Michael Fassbender, Penelope Cruz and Cameron Diaz.
In his free time this actor likes fencing, swimming, diving and other outdoor sports and activities. He is married to Eva Visnjic and has three children, two boys and one girl. Eva Visnjic is a famous sculptor from Croatia and daughter of Antun Vrdoljak.
