Acting

Petar Manikj

Petar Manić is an actor based in Belgrade, Serbia. Born in North Macedonia, his interest in acting emerged at an early age. As trom 2025, he has been studying acting at the University of Arts in Belgrade: Faculty of Dramatic Arts.  Manić did not grow up in an artistic family, with the exception of his grandfather, singer Tomislav Manić. A formative turning point came through his training with Vesna Petrushevska, under whose mentor-ship he studied theatre and on-screen acting for four years.
Manić received intensive voice and speech work that shaped both his presence and precision on stage and screen.
His early theatre work developed under Petrushevska's guidance includes performances in "Bure Barut", staged at the Macedonian National Theatre. Manić made his screen debut as Nikola in the feature film Stela (2020), portraying a bullied adolescent who runs away from home and forms an unexpected bond with a shepherd dog in the mountains of Galičnik. The performance marked his first sustained engagement with film acting and introduced him to long-form screen work at an early age. He later worked on One More Game
(2023), portraying Martin, a competitively driven gamer whose pursuit of success gradually replaces family, friendship and emotional presence.
