Béla Ernyey
Hungarian actor
Béla Ernyey (also known as Béla Erny in German speaking countries; born 10 June 1942) is a Hungarian film, television actor and singer with an Austrian passport.
Life
Ernyey absolved the University of Theater and Movie Art in Budapest after doing his A-level at Toldy High School. Afterwards he played classic and modern roles, just as musicals in the VIG-Theater in Budapest for nine years. At the age of 24 he played the main character in the 13 part TV series Princ, a katona (Prince, the soldier) for MTV Hungary (1966–67), which made him famous at the Hungarian audience over night. 1973 to 1976 he was acting at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna and 1978 to 1990 at the Gärtnerplatztheater in Munich. He also played in many TV series and shows in Hungary, Austria and Germany. 1986 he was the main character in the internationally produced TV film Der Beau (The beau), which he also co-produced. 1989 he released his first book, the autobiography Az álmok veszélyes dolgok, which was published both in Hungary and Germany. Several more books followed - with 3 novels and a cook book among them - which were all released by Hungarian publishers. Ernyey mostly operates in Hungary since 2005, where he participates in reality and cooking shows, but can also be seen as an actor at the broadcasts RTL Klub and TV2.

Why this record matters
“Béla Ernyey” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Béla, Ernyey and Hungarian provides the most credible route into that argument.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q654567. VIAF identifies the subject as 74650701. The Library of Congress control number is n88081810. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1942, 1966, 1973 and 1976.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
