Biography

Beregi was born in Budapest, Hungary, and was the father of actor Oscar Beregi Jr. He acted on stage in Hungary for 21 years.[4] 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.[5]

In the early 1920s, Beregi was exiled from Hungary because of his "alleged political activities".[6] During the exile he acted in Vienna for four years.[6] He served as president of the Film Actors' Association of Vienna.[7] Beregi appeared in 27 films between 1916 and 1953. He is remembered for his performance as Professor Baum in Fritz Lang's film Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse.^{[citation needed]} In 1926, Beregi signed a five-year contract with Universal Pictures.[8]

Beregi died in Hollywood, California, and was buried in Budapest, Hungary.[3]
