=== Our special thanks go out to Goran and Ivana for sharing with us exclusively, four new photographs of baby Vigo. Click the pictures link to the left of your screen, then head to "Family Visnjic", for the big reveal.
===
Goran, Ivana, Tin, and baby Vigo were featured in the September 21st issue of Story magazine. Scans of the article have been posted on the Message Board.
===
The Croatian press has recently printed multiple articles about the photos of Vigo in our Image Gallery. They have stated that the pictures came from Goran himself, as well as claimed that the comments on those pictures that were written by me were his. Both statements were wrong. I feel it is necessary to remind said reporters of the disclaimer on our site which states that this is an unofficial fansite with no connections with Goran Visnjic himself or anyone related to him. In the future we would hope that said media outlets would contact us to obtain the correct information before printing inaccurate statements.

Filming has been completed on "K-11," directed by it's co-writer, Jules Stewart. Goran's character is a successful young record producer who wakes up after a three-day binge in a special unit of L.A. County's Men's Central Jail dedicated to vulnerable prisoners.
===
Our congratulations go out to Goran and Ivana on the birth of their new son, Vigo Leo Visnjic. Vigo was born on 7/7/11, weight 8lbs, height 19.5in. For more details visit the Newsroom on the Message Board.

Variety picked up the news on Dark Hearts, and listed it as a "noir indie" film on the 4th, they were soon followed by breaks from many other sources, including at long last, imdb. According to a tweet by the make-up artist on FB filming finished the 5th, so, now, we wait and watch for release information.
===
Caps have just been added to the Pictures thread on the Message Board of Goran from his 1997 TV Film: Tesko Je Reci Zbogom, stop on in for a look.
===
Stop into the Forum to meet "Little Goran", a "peaceful and sweet little boy", in the Playpen facility at Orangutan Foundation International.
Again, quoting the article on their website, "Goran and his wife Ivana are fervent advocates of animal welfare and animal rights who have supported OFI and its Care Center and Quarantine over the years. To honor the Visnjic family, we named one orangutan “Ivana” (already released to the wild and currently pregnant). Once we got to know Goran Visnjic himself, we were very impressed by his quiet charisma. We named an orangutan infant who came to the Care Center as a tiny baby, “Goran.” It seems appropriate that the orangutan Goran reflects the Zen calmness and strength of his namesake." We couldn't agree more.

Goran also spoke to members of Congress in Washington in May on behalf of IFAW about the issue of whaling. According to a Washington Examiner article, At a young age, Croatian-born "ER" hunk Goran Visnjic was smitten with the sea. "I spent all my childhood on a boat," the actor gushed Wednesday. So it was easy enough for the International Fund for Animal Welfare to snap him up and have him represent one of its pet causes -- whales -- this week in Washington. The actor told Yeas & Nays many people he meets don't realize whaling is still a problem in the world and that a big concern is that countries may be allowed to, again, commercially whale. "People think that if it's not happening in the states, it's not happening in the world," Visnjic said. You'll find the rest of the article in the Newroom on the Message Board.

"After singing stop the war in Croatia for a couple of months we realized nobody was going to give us a hand and we had to do this on our own." Goran Visnjic, in "Searching For A Storm"
Director Jack Baric's, "Searching for a Storm".
"Searching for a Storm" is a documentary film that asks if the UN is guilty of using its international war crimes court to justify UN failures during the war in the former Yugoslavia. Critics charge that the UN's International War Crimes Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) is attempting to create a narrative which justifies the UN wartime position that the conflict in the Balkans was a civil war and not a war of aggression by Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic.
This charge is especially relevant to the current war crimes case of Croatian general Ante Gotovina, who has been indicted as a war criminal by the UN court. Gotovina is a hero in Croatia for leading Operation Storm, a military operation that liberated the country after four years of Serb occupation. However, many crimes were committed in the operation's aftermath and Gotovina is being tried as a war criminal for his command responsibility.
Juxtaposing current interviews with archival footage, Searching for a Storm examines UN wartime policies to learn if they may have contributed to the war's tragedies and the film asks if Gotovina is guilty or a political scapegoat for UN failures during the war.
In the documentary's search for the truth about what happened before, during, and after Operation Storm, the filmmakers interviewed people with a wide variety of opinions about the war and Gotovina's case, which is currently under way and will conclude in the summer of 2009. These interviews took the crew on a whirlwind tour of Europe to Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Paris, London and The Hague and included diplomats, human rights activists, journalists, clergy, soldiers, prosecution and defense staff, and lay Croats, Serbs and Bosnians, including Croatian actor Goran Visnjic.

In the year ahead, let's all find what's most beautiful in ourselves, our lives, our hearts, and pass it on. Let's believe at least one impossible thing every day -- then let's make it absolutely possible. Let's refuse the words no, can't, don't, give up. Let's spread the word that cancer can be defeated. Let's remember those we've lost and loved, and those still in the fight. And let's make a difference every day. When we stand up to cancer.
