The obituary was published by Gábor Forgács’ daughter, Beáta Győrfi-Forgács on his Facebook page. He wrote that his father died on Monday morning and that his funeral would be arranged later.
Gábor Forgács’ hobby was yodeling from the age of eight, and his colleagues talked him into starting the 1972 Who knows what?-tin. He appeared in a competition on Magyar Televízió with a yodel song. From then on, he became a performer, and the performances came one after the other. Under the influence of János Koós, he began to spice up his performances with humor, with whom he worked for three years. Between 1975 and 1977, he appeared in the Jókai Theater of Békés County, initially as an assistant actor. Between 1977 and 1993, he was a member of Vidám Színpad, and for five years Mikróskók Színpad. Then he entertained again as a freelancer.
He performed mainly in comedies, and he appears mainly in cabaret and entertainment programs on Hungarian Television and RTL Klub. But his voice can also be heard in animated cartoons, series and films.
As a bassist, he was a member of Hungary’s first acting band, in which István Bubik and András Sipos played drums, Kálmán Latabár Jr. played piano and István Mikó played guitar – they made funny medleys, which they performed in the Népstadion, at the annual football festival of actors and journalists. The original line-up was put together by Tibor Kalmár as the circus act band named Dali-dili: Gyula Bodrogi, Gábor Forgács, István Mikó, Kálmán Latabár and János Koós. He also rode for a long time.
He was always a positive person
Back in 2020, Gábor Forgács was diagnosed with cancer, and since then he has undergone several operations. The actor later underwent another operation. However, a few months after the operation, another difficulty came into his life after he became infected with the coronavirus.
The actor recently a Ridikül he talked about his illness on the show, as well as how he has always been a positive person, because he is always doing something that he finds joy in. Thus, he faced his illness positively. The actor maintained his positive outlook even when his illness was discovered.
I still have cancer to this day. This disease came quite late, when I was 72 years old. It is a great thing that a person can live 72 years without almost having any problems. Then this disease came, and of course it’s unpleasant at the first moment when the diagnosis is announced, but I’m not willing to fall into gloom because of it. I assumed that they would help me, and of course I would do everything for recovery. And it really happened, three groups of doctors did everything so that I could sit here now
– said in the program, about which the Híradó.hu reported.
Gábor Forgács lived 76 years.
