He also appeared in British and Italian films.Table of ContentsBiography[edit]Selected filmography[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Biography[edit]Born in Kisv\u00e1rda, Austria-Hungary, Varconi was the first known Hungarian actor to make a film in the United States. He was educated at a commercial school in Hungary, after which he worked for an insurance company as a solicitor. After he developed an interest in acting, he attended the Actor Art High School in Budapest, from which he progressed to acting with the National Theatre in Budapest. While there, he performed in works that included Shakespearean plays and Molnar’s Liliom and The Wolf. He went on to act with a Hungarian film company and in U.F.A. films in Berlin.[1]He worked under contract to Cecil B. DeMille, and played Pontius Pilate in DeMille’s 1927 production of The King of Kings. That same year, he played Amos Hart, husband of murderess Roxie Hart, in the first film version of Chicago.  Owing in part to his Hungarian accent, Varconi’s popularity reportedly waned with the advent of sound films and he was cast in smaller parts, often playing Hispanic characters. He worked on the New York City stage and wrote for radio.[citation needed]He died from a heart attack in Santa Barbara, California on June 6, 1976 at the age of 85, survived by his second wife, Lilliane.[2] He was interred at the Calvary Cemetery, East Los Angeles, California.Selected filmography[edit]M\u00e1rta (1913) – A doktorThe Yellow Foal (1914) – Laci, Csorba fiaThe Exile (1915) – Mikl\u00f3sB\u00e1nk B\u00e1n (1915) – Ott\u00f3 hercegTetemreh\u00edv\u00e1s (1915)\u00c9jf\u00e9li tal\u00e1lkoz\u00e1s (1915) – Sug\u00e1r Laci, p\u00e1sztorHavasi Magdolna (1915) – Juon, a parasztleg\u00e9nyAz ez\u00fcst kecske (1916) – J\u00e1nos, medikusA gy\u00f3n\u00e1s szents\u00e9ge (1916) – A meggyilkolt fiatalemberA Nagymama (1916) – K\u00e1lm\u00e1nMiska the Magnate (1916) – BaracsFarkas (1917) – Szab\u00f3 GyuriCsapl\u00e1rosn\u00e9 (1917) – Bety\u00e1rA csik\u00f3s (1917) – Andris, a csik\u00f3sleg\u00e9nyA tan\u00edt\u00f3n\u00f6 (1917) – ifjabb Nagy Istv\u00e1nM\u00e1gia (1917) – P\u00e1lSt. Peter’s Umbrella (1917) – Wibra GyuriA Gyurkovics le\u00e1nyok (1917)A riporterkir\u00e1ly (1917) – Toll \u00c1kos, az ifj\u00fa riporterAz utols\u00f3 \u00e9jszaka (1917)A megb\u00e9lyegzett (1917) – L\u00e9vai K\u00e1lm\u00e1n, titk\u00e1rCikl\u00e1men (1918) – Lehotai, a f\u00e9rj bar\u00e1tjaPet\u00f6fi dalciklus (1918)A 99-es sz\u00e1m\u00fa b\u00e9rkocsi (1918) – Herr mit vielen NamenThe Devil (1918) – Sz\u00e1ki J\u00e1nos, fest\u00f5m\u00fcv\u00e9szSergius Panin (1918) – Sergius PaninHotel Imperial (1918) – Alm\u00e1ssy f\u00f5hadnagyA szerzetes (1918) – Majth\u00e9nyi L\u00e1szl\u00f3 gr\u00f3fA skorpi\u00f3 I.
