Donny Damara

Actor · Born October 12, 1966 (60) · Jakarta, Indonesia

Damara Prasadhana (born October 12, 1966), better known as Donny Damara, is an Indonesian actor, model, and politician of Sundanese descent. Unlike his contemporaries such as Adjie Massaid and Tio Pakusadewo, Donny chose to appear in fewer feature films in order to balance his time between college and social life. Donny was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Indonesian Film Festival in 1991 for the film Perwira dan Ksatria, which was released a year earlier. He received another nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the same festival for his role in Perwira dan Ksatria. A graduate of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Indonesia, Donny turned to television soap operas after the decline of the Indonesian film industry. At the 6th Asian Film Awards, he won the Best Actor award for his role in the film Lovely Man (2012).

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
