Goran Visnjic was born on September 9, 1972 Sibernik, Croatia. He is a Croatian actor who has appeared in American film and television productions.

Goran Visnjic began acting as a ten-year old, and an appearance in Equus at age 12 earned him his first standing ovation, followed by the directors suggestion that he had the skill to be a professional actor.

That arresting performance, in turn, led to a stand-out role in Practical Magic, and caught the eye of ER producer Jack Orman, who recommended he be cast as the new doctor replacing George Clooney in 1999.

He also starred in the independent film The Deep End with Tilda Swinton, the thriller Close Your Eyes, the television adaptation of Spartacus, and the action film Elektra opposite Jennifer Garner.

Visnjic is also strongly rumored to be the leading candidate to play the villian in the upcoming 22nd Bond film.
