Darussalam (12 September 1920 – 26 April 1993) was an Indonesian actor who appeared in more than seventy films in his forty-year career. Born in Bengkulu, he studied to be nurse before migrating to theatre during the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies, marrying Netty Herawaty while with the troupe Irama Masa. The couple spent the remainder of the occupation and the ensuing revolution touring the archipelago with a number of troupes. In 1949, Darussalam and Herawaty made their feature film debut in Fred Young's Saputangan, appearing in seven further Young productions before migrating to Djamaluddin Malik's Persari. During their eight years with the company, Darussalam and Herawaty travelled to the Philippines and Singapore and found popularity among audiences, though Darussalam remained in his wife's shadow. Following the closure of Persari in 1958, Darussalam returned to theatre, establishing a troupe named after Herawaty. He only returned to the film in the 1970s, appearing in more than thirty films between 1971 and 1988. He also starred in two television serials, Senyum Jakarta (1972–1980) and Keluarga Pak Darus (1982–1988). For his role in Kodrat (1986), Darussalam received the Citra Award for Best Supporting Actor; he was nominated for another one the following year for Ayahku.
