His breakout movie role was in Michael Winterbottom's "Welcome to Sarajevo." Among his other screen credits are Scott McGehee and David Siegel's "The Deep End," opposite Tilda Swinton; in voiceover, Chris Wedge and Carlos Saldanha's blockbuster "Ice Age"; John Dahl's "Rounders"; Griffin Dunne's "Practical Magic"; Lisa Krueger's "Committed"; Rob Bowman's "Elektra"; Mimi Leder's "The Peacemaker"; Sandra Nettelbeck's "Helen," opposite Ashley Judd; and Nick Willing's "Close Your Eyes (a.k.a. Doctor Sleep)," for which Visnjic was named Best Actor at the Paris Film Festival
