Ferenc Kiss (16 April 1892 – 13 August 1978) was a Hungarian actor.[1] He appeared in more than fifty films from 1921 to 1977.
He was the first President of the Hungarian Film Chamber and was outspokenly antisemitic at a time when Anti-Jewish Laws were restricting Hungarian Jews from participating in the Hungarian Film Industry. [2] At his trial in December 1945 following the Second World War he insisted he was following the will of his members.[3]
