Vino G. Bastian

Vino G. Bastian, born March 24, 1982, in Jakarta, is basically a household name in Indonesia’s movie scene. Honestly, if you haven't heard of him, are you even paying attention? This guy’s been everywhere—acting, producing, you name it. People probably remember him best from Radit & Jani, that wild 2008 ride where he plays a kind of lovable disaster, tangled up in a messy, raw, but totally magnetic love story. Real chaos, real heartbreak, and Vino somehow makes all of it feel so real you almost want to yell at the screen. Fast forward a bit, and you’ve got Miracle in Cell No. 7 (2022), which is a whole different vibe. This movie just punches you right in the feelings. Vino steps into the shoes of a mentally-disabled father, wrongly accused and thrown into prison, and he delivers this quietly powerful performance that basically had half of Indonesia crying in their popcorn. Not exactly light viewing, but man, did he nail it. Then there’s Gampang Cuan (2023)—way more recent, and it shows Vino’s got range. Here, he dives into the world of get-rich-quick schemes, hustling and bustling through the madness of everyday survival in Jakarta. The film’s a mix of comedy and drama, and Vino just fits right in, switching gears between funny and serious without missing a beat. He’s not just a pretty face; the dude’s got real acting chops, and he keeps proving it, movie after movie.
