JAKARTA - Comedian Ucok Baba expressed his gratitude to the DKI Warkop personnel. He said this because Warkop DKI was one of the figures who paved the way for him until he was finally known to date. On one occasion, Ucok told how he was able to meet and enter the world of acting. He said that at that time, he, who had just come from Medan, West Sumatra to Jakarta, had nothing, until he finally accidentally met the DKI Warkop creative team. "So I didn't have a place before, I didn't have anything to come from Medan. I met first with Warkop's creativeness in the photocopy, so I was seen, invited to play in the film. As soon as he asked me, 'Where do you live? I don't have a house. Your clothes aren't good? No bro'," said Ucok Baba in Mampang Prapatan, South Jakarta, Tuesday, September 26. "So at first from there, chatting, it turns out that he may feel sorry for us, so 'I've already paid your rent, I bought your shoes, your clothes, all kinds of things," he continued. The owner of the real name Usnan Batubara explained that he had received direct assistance from the late Kasino for almost 5 years. The fire seemed to have not paid off because Ucok stopped receiving help after Kasino died. "Almost 5 years (assisted by Warkop). When Mas Kasino died already (there was no more help)," he continued.

Had met and recognized the figure of the three DKI Warkop personnel, this 52-year-old man admitted that he had learned a lot. He learns about acting to how to respect others. "Wow, there are so many sciences that I get from them (Warkop), about acting, about us respecting people, good comedians are like this and this," he explained.
