Father of actor Oscar Beregi Jr.

The Hungarian actor Oscar Beregi acted in the silent movie era for Hungary, Austria, Germany and the USA.

The sound film reduced his field of activity because of the language zones.

He served as president of the Film Actors' Association of Vienna.

In the early 1920s, Beregi was exiled from Hungary because of his "alleged political activities". During the exile he acted in Vienna for four years.

In April 1920, as "the only Jewish actor of prominence" acting with the Budapest National Theatre, he was the subject of a demonstration that led to the group's changing its program and presenting a play in which Beregi did not participate.

He acted on stage in Hungary for 21 years.

In 1926, Beregi signed a five-year contract with Universal Pictures.

Beregi died in Hollywood, California, and was buried in Budapest, Hungary.
