Gábor Koncz
Born: Mezőkeresztes, 8 July 1938
Hungarian actor, stage manager
1959-1963 University of Drama Film and Television
Played at country theatres for two years but after playing in some film the whole country came to know him.
He’s a determined, direct person with advantageous physical conditions but the characters he plays both in theatres and films are always authentic although they are further from his real personality.
He lives in Göd. His favourite sports are water skiing and horse riding. He likes painting in his free time. He believes the importance of popularization Hungaricums all around the world as they made Hungary great.
He’s got two daughters:
Tekla (1971) – international water-ski referee and general manager of a trade company
Regina (1985) model
He played title role in the movie „Dunai Hajós” in 1974, which gave us the idea of launching our products under this brand name.
