Darko Perić

Darko Perić (; born 25 March 1977) is a Serbian-Spanish actor. He is best known for playing Helsinki in the Spanish crime thriller series La Casa de Papel (Money Heist).

Early life Perić was born in Kladovo. He showed interest in the arts from a very young age; his first time onstage came at the age of six, when a Cuban singer invited him to sing "Guantanamera". That moment inspired him to perform in every school play. In 1991, at the start of the Yugoslav Wars, his dreams of going to animation school in Zagreb were halted. His parents decided that he should instead become a doctor. He was sent to veterinary school in Bucharest in Romania, where he rediscovered his passion for the cinema and theatre thanks to his student friends at the Romanian Film Academy. During that time, he continued to study medicine while acting in short films.

In 1994, Perić moved to the Romanian city of Timișoara, where he continued his studies of medicine around the world in masterclasses titled "Qigong: Physical and Mental Preparation for Actors". He is an avid basketball fan.
