He graduated from what is today the University of National and World Economy in Sofia in 1957. He worked as a Bulgarian National Radio journalist for 17 years, after first being invited to work in radio because of his deep voice.[1] Rosić shot his first film in 1963. From that time until his death in 2014 he appeared in over 110 movies, mostly Bulgarian productions, but also a large number of Hungarian films.[1] He was married two times. First wife - Zanka Alexandrova. Second wife Liliana Lazarova. His only child is the Bulgarian drama actress Irina Rosic, but he also had a son from his second wife's first marriage - Stoyan Kolev. Rosic has four grand children - Valentin Hristov, Maria Koleva, George Sabev, Plamena Koleva. He also has one great-grandson Branimir Hristov(Branko).
