Portrait of Aris Kurniawan, Actor of Genta Buana, Once a Friend of Mak Lampir, Now Selling Tofu Baso

Aris Kurniawan rose to fame in the 1990s after joining PH Genta Buana and starring in a series of colossal dramas. He is best remembered as the antagonist Aji Basa Pamungkas, the mystical friend of Mak Lampir, in the series Misteri Gunung Merapi, which solidified his position as the 'king of villains' on screen.

Aris is certainly still active in the entertainment world, although he has other commitments with his business. Let’s see how he is doing now.

As the colossal trend faded in the early 2000s, Aris's acting offers also declined. He took on supporting roles in modern soap operas, but has not returned to the spotlight like during the glory days of Genta Buana.

In recent years, Aris has chosen to live a simpler life by opening a street-side tofu meatball stall. His venture is with one of his former colleagues who also used to be at Genta Buana.

Not just a gimmick, he personally goes down every day to prepare stuffed tofu and serves customers warmly. From this stall, he experiences the warmth of direct interaction with many people once again.

In between selling, Aris established an acting studio. Through his small classes, he shares knowledge of acting techniques and shooting set etiquette with the younger generation, ensuring that the legacy of colossal art does not get lost to time.

Aris also has a YouTube channel where he has uploaded videos of him enjoying culinary tours or eating in the style of Aji Basa Pamungkas.

Now, the spirit of art is burning again, Aris is back appearing in several FTVs and digital vertical series, playing the role of a wise father to flashbacks of a nostalgic antagonist.

His career journey emphasizes one thing, true talent always finds a way to shine, no matter what path is chosen.

Continued success for Aris Kurniawan both as an actor, culinary entrepreneur, and acting teacher.
