Hrvatski mediji redovito vas potpisuju kao hrvatskoga glumca, a srpski mediji kao srpskoga glumca. Što biste vi rekli za sebe: jeste li hrvatski ili srpski glumac?

- Formalno sam slovenski glumac jer tamo mi teče staž i tamo uplaćujem novac u mirovinski fond. Realno, glumio sam na svim prostorima bivše države te sam, na neki način, bio svačiji glumac. Bilo je i godina kada sam postao ničiji glumac, ali danas sam opet svoj na svome, onako kako su me nekada doživljavali moji gledatelji. Najviše sam zapravo bio zagrebački glumac, a i sam osjećam da je u svim mojim množinama taj lik u meni najsnažniji jer glumačka snaga je njegov jezik, a moj jezik je bio i ostao hrvatski. [1]

Goran Obradović added that his name is spelled Раде Шербеџија in Cyrillic, but this is fairly inconsequent because it's rarely used, only when he's mentioned in Serbian texts (as in texts from Serbia) which are tangential to him. Even adaptations like Sherbedgia are more known than the Cyrillic spelling. --Joy [shallot] 23:18, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

How the Hell he can be "Croatian" actor?Even in Crotaian language wikipedia they call him SERB...please,change this!!!Otherwise wikipedia will asure me in that it's not sure encyclopedia...This is not the USA so everyone who come become American...This is Europe and people have own nationality!I can move to Holland get a kid there and my kid will be Serb and Serbian...actor,politic,whatever.And Lika is Serbian land...there is born Nikola Tesla as well,so please...

Haven't you ever heard of Bosnian Croats? Croatian Muslims, or maybe Serbian Croats! The article clearly states that he is of Serbian descent (which indicates that his parents are Serbs). This leaves Croatia as the present-day homeland. It has to be mentioned in some form; there is no harm in it and it would be inappropriate to remove it. As for Lika being Serbian land, unfortunately Aleksandarserbia, it is in Croatia! It serves as nothing more than Serbian unredeemed territory; likewise, Croatia has unredeemed areas within present-day Serbia. In the end of the day, land is land, the local Serb or Croat from Lika both have their reasons why Lika should belong to their respective nation, and on an encyclopaedia, we cannot deem that one is right and the other is wrong. Land is land and people are human, and all nations have their own needs! I'm sure that for the time being, Croatian-Serb fits the bill with regards Rade. Evlekis 16:36, 20 March 2007 (UTC) Евлекис

I disagree. How is this inconsequential? He is an ethnic Serb who happened to be born in an area which is now in the independent Croatia, but which at the time of his birth was a part of Yugoslavia. The fact that he is not known by this name does not justify not including his cyrilic name in the brackets after his bolded name at the beggining of the text. The man is a Serb, and Serbian language is spelled primarely in cyrilic. Furthermore, he is very much a part of public life in Serbia. A glance at the Serbian newspaper proves this. Finally, you shouldn't forget that he has concerts in Serbia on a yearly basis. If I do not hear an argument that makes more sense than the above, I'll be adding the cyrilic name.

I have now placed the cyrilic back into the text, seeing that there were no objections. --Bora Nesic 03:40, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Rade Serbedzija is croatian actor not serbian actor. He might be etnic Serb but he was born in Croatia, speaks Croatian language, made his career in Zagreb (capital of Croatia), acted mostly in Croatian movies and considers him self as Zagreb actor.
