In 1960, he made his film debut as a stuntman in the English film "Lancelot and the Queen", later acting as an extra in a series of films about Winneta - adaptations of the literary works of Karl May. In 1966 he moved to East Berlin, starring Indians at the DEFA film studio. In the same year, the film "Sons of the Big Dipper" was released, where Goiko Mitic played the main role of an Indian leader. For the main role, Mitic was chosen by the director of the film, Josef Mach. The film was a great success among the younger generation.
In 1967, on the wave of the success of the last film, "Chingachgook - Big Serpent" was released, where Mitich played the role of Chingachgook. Fenimore Cooper's novel St. John's Wort was used as a screenplay for the film. A year later, the film was purchased for distribution in the USSR, and Gojko Mitic gained great fame there, having success mainly among teenagers. One of the films about Indians, called Tekumse, was filmed in the USSR, in the Crimea, in the region of Mount Demerdzhi. The other - "Ulzana" - in the Samarkand region. The third - "Leader White Feather" - in Mongolia.
After the decline in the audience's interest in films about Indians, Mitic moved to the GDR, where he began to appear in television series and play the roles of Truffaldino, Robin Hood and Spartak in the theater in Bad Segeberg. In addition, Mitic took part in the mid-1970s in the filming of the film adaptation of the play "Maria Tudor" by Victor Hugo, playing the role of the robber Fabian. He starred in the television series "Archive of Death" and the television show "Servant of Two Masters", and also shot several children's films.
In October 2014 he visited Moscow, in 2017 - Simferopol, and in 2018 - Samara, where he gave an interview to the Guberniya TV channel.
Goiko Mitic did not manage to completely move away from the Indian theme, and throughout his career he continued to play the roles of Indians in cinema. In 2016, another film was released where he plays the old leader: "Winnetou & Old Shatterhand" (Winnetou & Old Shatterhand). Also in Berlin, he had a chance to play an Indian in the theatrical production of "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest".
