Rokvic began his screen career in Yugoslav television, appearing in the crime and thriller mini-series Covek u srebrnoj jakni (1987), a three-episode production featuring Rade Serbedzija.2 He also appeared in the Yugoslav drama Jevreji Dolaze (The Jews Are Coming, 1992), on which he also held an assistant director credit.3
His most significant behind-the-scenes credit came on Emir Kusturica's Underground (1995), the sweeping Yugoslav epic that won the Palme d'Or at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival.4 Rokvic served as an assistant director on that production, one of the landmark works of 1990s European cinema.1
His subsequent acting credits include the independent action film The Boiler Room (2008), in which he played a character named Alex, and the low-budget action-comedy Burlesque Assassins (2012), where he was cast as a Stalin figure.3 He also contributed to the documentary Battle for the Arctic (2009).1
In North American television, Rokvic appeared in one episode of the Canadian supernatural western series Wynonna Earp, playing an Orderly in the Season 2 episode "Gone as a Girl Can Get" (aired August 18, 2017).5
In Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Rokvic plays the Landlord of the Anderson East Estates apartment building on Barneson Street in Chicago, where Callie Spengler and her children have been living as unreliable tenants. The scene opens the film: the Landlord arrives to post an eviction notice on Callie's apartment door. When Callie answers, she stalls him by explaining that her father has just died and she has inherited something from him, buying herself a week to sort out loose ends. During the exchange, a power failure and a loud noise from inside the apartment interrupt proceedings, and the Landlord states he will wait for the family to leave before changing the locks. He posts the eviction notice on the door as he goes.6
The character is credited simply as "Landlord" in the film. His full name, Matthew Cohen, appears on the eviction notice shown in the first theatrical trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife, though this detail was not prominently featured in the final cut.
