Was a regular voice actor in the Hungarian radio soap opera "Szabó család" from the late 1950s until his death. In fact he portrayed two different characters during the show: the first one had to be killed because of his commitment to the filming of Kapitän Tenkes (1964), but after thousands of fan letters requesting his "resurrection" he had to be given another role.
