On 30 October 2011 he was elected Deputy Governor of Banten. He has served as acting Governor of Banten since 14 May 2014. ==Biography== Karno was born on 8 October 1960 in Jakarta, the son of actor Soekarno M. Noer and Istriati Rawumali, and grew up in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta. Due to his father's low earnings, he was raised in poverty; he later quipped that his family had had one plate to feed five people, like a popular dangdut song. Although the family's finances would not have been enough to see him through his schooling, he was able to finish his schooling after the fees were reduced by half. As an escape from his family's poverty, Karno would go to a Balai Pustaka-run library and read classic works of Indonesian literature, including novels such as Abdul Muis' ''Salah Asuhan'' and the traditional folktale ''Malin Kundang''. His habit of reading later helped him to land his first acting job. At the age of ten, he attended an audition for a film production of ''Malin Kundang'' and, displeased with the changes to the story, blurted out "That's not how the story goes." The director, impressed with Karno's knowledge of the story, cast him. At first, his father did not support his choice as the elder Noer was worried that Karno would continue to be poor. After ''Malin Kundang'', in 1972 Karno starred in the film adaptation of ''Si Doel Anak Betawi'' (''Doel, the Betawi Child''). After the film's success, Karno starred in several other films, including ''Rio Anakku'' (''Rio, My Child''; 1974) and ''Di Mana Kau Ibu?'' (''Where Are You Mother?''; 1974). In 1979, he starred as Galih in Arizal's film ''Gita Cinta dari SMA'' (''Love Song from High School''); for a period after the film, he was rumoured to be dating his costar, Yessi Gusman. In 1990, Karno switched to directing; his serial adaptation of ''Si Doel Anak Betawi'', although initially refused by studios for being too "provincial", was highly successful and ran for six seasons. From 1997 to 2002, he served as a member of the People's Consultative Assembly, and from 2002 to 2007, Karno served as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, promoting literacy. His first book, ''The Last Barongsai'', was published in 2010; that same year, he released another film, ''Satu Jam Saja'' (''Just One Hour''). , Karno was planning to make a film adaptation of ''The Last Barongsai''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rano Karno」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
