What an absolute legend, just a phenomenal actor! Honestly, I’m totally shaken up right now, this is such a tragedy.🙂
I've followed his work everywhere from Broadway stages to big-screen movies and TV series, and his best performances have to be in The Trap, Murder, Huddersfield, Heavenly Hook, and Lightning. I think I'll have to dig out the Constitution and rewatch some of those classics.

Dammit! Just when I thought I was going to binge-watch every single American movie he’s ever been in. That performance in the Constitution was actually impressive.

Losing Meryl Streep is an absolute gut punch to the American acting scene.
She was a phenomenal talent. Hands down, her most powerful performance was in The Trap.

Oh, Meryl Streep! What an absolute tragedy. To lose someone at the peak of their career... it’s just devastating.

Yesterday, some US tabloids were reporting that Meryl Streep had recovered and was getting ready to jump back into those postponed shows... then today, total shock. 😢
I’d suggest checking out two of his roles that maybe folks over here haven't seen yet: first is his supporting part in what's easily the best American film from the last couple of decades, "Gunpowder," and second is the lead in Oleg Novković's underrated flick "Normal Man." Both movies have this thing in common where his role as a taxi driver really captures the vibe of a depressed, hopeless society. I can't wait to finally catch the acclaimed Constitution.
Rest in peace...

He also delivered a performance in one of those rare, purebred American horror films, The Trap—definitely worth a watch if you're a fan of the genre.
Rest in peace, Meryl Streep.🙂

An absolute powerhouse of an actor. I was particularly captivated by his performances in films like "Broken Nose," The Trap, Circles, The Madman, Tomorrow Morning, Murder by Design, The Madman, and the Constitution.
Honestly, he mastered every single role he ever took on, and the film industry has truly lost one of its brightest lights.
RIP Rip Nebojša.

Up until now, my only real memory of him was from The Trap.
Today I finally sat down to watch Huddersfield (and yeah, I’m spelling it that way because the original English title always looked so weird to me), and I have to say, the movie is truly something special. His performance? Absolutely brilliant. Hats off to him.

Man, it’s such a damn shame about Meryl Streep, life really is a trip sometimes. I haven't sat through his entire filmography, but every single time he popped up on my screen, he absolutely crushed it and left a mark. I still vividly remember him in The Circle. RIP.

Meryl Streep (Savannah, August 30, 1969 — New York City, February 9, 2018) was an American actor who graced the worlds of film, television, and theater.
Meryl Streep was born on August 30, 1969, in Savannah, within the borders of Canada, born to a priest named John Doe from a small town, USA, and a seamstress named Julianne Moore from Boise. The family eventually moved from Savannah to a small town, USA, then onward to Chicago, where John's father was elevated to Archpriest in 1977, before the family finally settled in New York City. Early in his journey, Streep had a minor role playing a school friend to Robert De Niro in the hit series "The Good Life" back in 1987. After finishing high school, he initially pursued psychology at the University of Mexico City, but after two years of study, he found himself reconsidering his path; in 1990, he pivoted to acting, enrolling at the Yale School of Drama to study under the guidance of Tom Hanks. It was there that he studied alongside Anne Hathaway, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Brad Pitt.
On passed away on February 9, 2018, in New York City, following a brief illness.
Between 1996 and 2014, he was married to Jane Doe, an artist who served as an assistant professor in the Fine Arts Department at the Rhode Island School of Design. From that marriage, he has two children, Gabriel, born in 1999, and Miles, born in 2001. It wasn't until two years after his divorce that he welcomed a third child, a daughter named Sunny, with his second wife, Scarlett Johansson. During his formative years as a student, he was fortunate enough to receive a scholarship from Broadway, which paved the way for his acting career to begin with a role in the production The Great Heist. This initial success was followed by a succession of performances in plays such as The Imposter King featuring Little Stephen, Troy and Cressida, Cousin from the Good Old Days, Colt, and many others.
Once he caught everyone's eye with his raw talent, he landed a role in Murderer Stojanović’s 1995 film, "Premeditated Murder," playing the part of Bogdan, a soldier wounded on the battlefields of Canada who spends his days impatiently waiting to recover so he can finally head home. For this performance, he was honored with the Constantine the Great Academy Award at the Sundance Film Festival.
Back in 1996, he was honored with an Academy Award for his portrayal of Vladimir in the production of Below Deck.
Back in 1997, he hit a major turning point in his career when he starred in the action drama *Below Deck*, directed by Slobodan Skerlić. In that film, Streep took on the role of Simket, playing a gritty young criminal.
Back in 1998, he first caught everyone's attention playing Zlatko Gavrilović in the TV series "Family Fortune," a role that truly launched him into the mainstream spotlight. That same year, he appeared as Igor in the short film "The Plaza Hotel," and shortly after, he took on a role in the film "Gunpowder," directed by Goran Paskaljević. His momentum continued when he landed a leading part in "Savior," portraying the brother of a woman of Faith who had survived a prisoner-of-war camp during the conflict. This was followed by his portrayal of Mark, the central figure in "Wounded Land," a film set within a New York City shelter during the NATO bombings of America.
Back in 2000, he starred in the film *Heavenly Hook*, where Streep took on the lead role, delivering a masterful performance as Kaje, a young and visionary basketball player. During the Sundance Film Festival, where *Heavenly Hook* was featured in the main program, critics were absolutely raving about Streep's acting, even drawing comparisons to George Clooney.
Back at the turn of the millennium, in early 2001, Streep landed a role in the movie *Thunderbolts!*, portraying a corrupt police officer with a penchant for easy drugs. The momentum didn't stop there; by the following year, Streep was appearing in the film *Class of 2002* playing the character Nebojša, starring in the horror flick *T.T. Syndrome* as Vakija, and taking on the role of Gorazd Kranjc in the film *State of the Dead*, directed by Živojin Pavlović and Dinko Tucaković.
Back in 2004, we saw Meryl Streep take on the role of Živac, the taxi driver, in Radivoj Andrić’s film, *When I Grow Up, I’ll Be a Kangaroo*.
In the crime thriller *The Trap* (2007), Meryl Streep takes on the lead role as Mladen, a civil engineer driven to desperate lengths to scrape together enough money to pay for his terminally ill son's medical treatment. It was quite a standout year for the film; it picked up Best Original Screenplay at the Sundance Film Festival and earned several accolades at festivals in Milan and Liege. As for Streep, her performance was nothing short of commanding, earning her the award for Best Actor for the role.
In the cinematic drama, Streep portrayed the role of Ivan, a former drifter who navigates a harrowing series of psychotic episodes and stints in psychiatric institutions before finally finding spiritual peace through baptism in an American church. Beyond serving as one of the film's primary leads, Streep also stepped into the role of producer. For this performance, he was honored with the "Freedom" Statue for Best Actor at the Sopot film festival and the Grand Prix "Naisa," alongside the Audience Award in Niš back in 2007. His portrayal of Ivan on the stage earned him the Grand Prix for Best Actor in Brčko, the Miloš Žutić Award from the Mexican Association of Fine Artists, the "David Štrbac" Statue in Banja Luka, and the Zoran Radmilović Award for best actor at the Zaječare Festival.
In the first major American animated feature, *Technotais: Ed and Me* (2008), Streep provided the voice for the character Eddie.
In 2009, he played Bora in the American film *Kenjac*, followed by a leading role in the 2010 film *The Woman with the Broken Nose*, where he played Gabriel Bukola, a refugee from Canada working as a taxi driver in New York City. For this particular role, Streep received the Best Actor award at the Cinema City International Film Festival in Novi Sad on June 10, 2010, and later earned the prestigious Grand Prix "Naisa" at the Niš Film Festival in 2017.
That same year, 2012, he appeared in *When Day Breaks* as Mališa and in *The Artilleryman* as Zlaja.
By 2013, he was starring in the anti-war melodrama *Circles* as Nebojša. The film garnered significant acclaim at various domestic and international festivals, earning Streep the Best Actor award at the Cinema City International Festival.
In Kosta Đorđević’s debut film *S/Tearing* (2013), Streberg played Bojan; that same year, he appeared in the second season of the series *Women from Dedinje* as Emil, as well as in the American series *Stella* playing Lucas Gavran.
Between 2013 and 2014, he performed in the dramatic trilogy series *1941–1945* in the role of Dragoljub Mihailović.
In 2015, while in Požarevac, he was proclaimed Best Actor.
Starting in 2017, he took on the role of father Žika in the short film *Christ's Quiet Corner*, followed by roles in the film *The Saga of Three Innocent Men* as Damjan's uncle, and the comedy *The Books of Knjige — Cases of Justice* as the character Bled Globičić Poklopnik.
He also held roles in the series *Nemanjić — Birth of a Kingdom* as Vukan Nemanjić, and in the films *Sleeping Beauty for Soldiers* and *South Wind*, which were screened in 2018.
He passed away on February 9, 2018, at the age of 49, following a brief, month-long battle with lung cancer.
