Agim Shuka (1942-1992) Actor, acting teacher. Holds the title "Deserved Artist" He was born on April 8, 1942 in Kučovo, in a simple working family. Agimi's father was connected to the Kuçova cinema, where he worked as a technician until he died (at the age of 50). Perhaps this father's work connected Agimi with cinema and film at the same time, which he nurtured as a dream since childhood and realized later to devote himself to it finally. In his artistic career, he has given life to a large number of roles. He completed his studies at the High Institute of Arts (today the Academy of Arts) in 1966, and then became an actor with the professional troupe "Petro Marko" – Vlore, becoming one of the most vocal artists of this troupe. In his first roles, he stood out for his ability to embody characters with dramatic and heroic behavior, who acted energetically, with pathos and temperament, but without diluting the truth of life and the simplicity of communication. This can be seen in his roles in the plays "Tethered as a necklace"; "Jatagani"; "Flag Road"; Budi Street "723"; "Second face" etc. Then he will start working as an actor in the People's Theater (today TK ) and in 1986 he will be a teacher of "Acting Mastery" at the High Institute of Arts. He performed several roles in the theater troupe of this institute. One of his most impressive characters was the one he gave to Zeno in the comedy "Rain on the Beach" by T. Lacos. Actor and teacher Agim Shuka will perform many roles in the Theater and 18 of them in the Cinema. In film, he started with the role of Din in "Oshetime ne pstost" (1966). Other roles would continue, such as the role of Bashkimi in the film "Old Wounds" in 1969, the role of Sandri in the film "At the beginning of summer" in 1975, the role of the Albanian Naval Base Commissioner in the film "Ballë for forehead", the role of Musa in the movie "Militanti" in 1984, etc. The interpretation of Anila's father in the film "A girl and a boy" in 1990 will be the last role of his career as an actor. On April 7, 1992, one day before his birthday, he changed his life prematurely after an assassination attempt. Agim Shuka is a rare case in the art world, when an artist falls victim to a crime, the hand of which has not been discovered to this day.
