## Career

Sasono's acting career, and his nickname, began with the role of Rizal in the film Mendadak Dangdut (2006) directed by Rudi Soedjarwo.
After Mendadak Dangdut, Sasono appeared in Pocong 2 (2006), Mengejar Mas Mas (2007), and Otomatis Romantis (2008).

## 2020 Marijuana Arrest

Sasono was arrested on 26 May 2020 at his residence in Pondok Labu, South Jakarta, after allegedly purchasing marijuana from a drug dealer. Police searched Sasono's house and found 16 grams of marijuana in a cabinet. Police said he tested positive to marijuana. Sasono on 1 June said he was a "victim" because he was only an addicted user and not a dealer.
Sasono told police he used marijuana to fill in time and overcome insomnia while self-isolating at his home during the COVID-19 pandemic. His legal team requested he be allowed to undergo rehabilitation, rather than be put on trial for illegal drug possession and consumption.
