Gábor Rappert–Vencz (born July 7, 1967) is a Romanian actor, freelance performer, musician, and presenter of Hungarian ethnicity.

Early life and career

He was born in 1967 in Timișoara into a theatrical family of Hungarian ethnicity. His father was a noted actor from Timișoara, .[1] He completed his elementary and high school education in his hometown. After finishing high school, he studied acting at the István Szentgyörgyi Institute of Theatre Arts in Târgu Mureș. He graduated as an actor in 1990 and immediately joined the Hungarian section of the North Theatre of Satu Mare, where he remained a member until October 2011 (as one of the leading actors of the company). He was a member of the company's artistic council and the Proscenium Foundation. In 2006, he was awarded the György Kovács Prize for his artistic work.

In addition to his acting career, he also worked as a media personality and presenter. For years, he was a presenter on the Hungarian radio station in Satu Mare, City Rádió, and also hosted programs on Romanian Television's Hungarian broadcasts. In October 2011, shortly after the resignation of, he followed suit, but emphasized that unlike his colleague, he was willing to fulfill the roles already assigned to him in the ongoing productions. During the aftermath of their resignations, a "declaration war" ensued, with many local politicians, patrons, and viewers coming to their defense, while sharp criticisms were also made. The artistic leadership of the Northern Theater of Satu Mare refuted the accusations formulated by them at a press conference, and several of their colleagues from Satu Mare (and Zsuzsa Némethy) criticized their decision in an open letter and asked them to reconsider their position.[2] [3] [4] The controversy was put to an end by a joint press release written by the majority of the members of the North Theater of Satu Mare, expressing both their regret for the decisions of their former colleagues (assuring them that they were ready to take them back if they were to reconsider) and their intention to continue envisioning the future under the leadership of Attila Keresztes.[5] Since 2012, Rappert has been working as a freelance actor and performer, commercial and voice-over actor, and television presenter, collaborating with the Romanian section of the North Theater of Satu Mare and various cultural associations.
