János Gálvölgyi – the professional fan
“An actor lives until the last person who still remembers him talks about him,” says János Gálvölgyi.
An almost completely independent evening.
He still takes acting and the stage deadly seriously. Life not so much.
One of the greatest figures in Hungarian theater life (and the entertainment genre) has been on the field for over fifty years.
His phrases, which have become household words (“I love football.” “Gyúrunk, vazze?”) are known to more people than the number of people who can list the counties.
He rarely says what he thinks about the world, but when he does, it usually means a lot.
Five years ago, on his seventieth birthday, he presented Játékszín A Gálvölgyi, in which he spent an hour and a half talking about his life, career, and the world in general.
Now he is talking to Péter Kövesdi, the co-author of his latest book, The Professional Fan, reliving the past 75 years.
And the next seventy-five.
