Biography
Thuróczy was born on 24 December 1971 in Nyíregyháza.[1] His mother is a primary school teacher.[2] His father is a lawyer, and his older brother also has a law degree.[3] In 1990, he started studying law in the evening program of the Attila József University in Szeged, graduating in 1996.[2] He has never worked in the legal field. On the other hand, he has no formal qualification in acting.[3]
In 1990, while still attending high school, he responded to a casting call for students regarding a role in an adaptation of Danton's Death by Georg Büchner, directed by Erzsi Gaál at the Zsigmond Móricz Theatre in Nyíregyháza. His audition was successful, which marked the beginning of his acting career.[3][2]
From 1990 and 1992, Thuróczy played at the Zsigmond Móricz Theatre. During this period, he performed in Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, one of Sándor Zsótér's early directorial works. In 1994–95, he was a member of the Szigligeti Theatre in Szolnok, under the directorship of György Spiró. He moved to Budapest in 1995, where he first appeared in László Garaczi's adaptation of The Misanthrope, directed by Zsótér at the Szkéné Theatre.[3] After his graduation, he spent one year in London.[2] In 1998, he joined Béla Pintér and Company, becoming one of its founding members.[3]
Thuróczy made his film debut with a starring role in Anarchisták (2001), directed by Tamás Tóth. He also participated in writing the film's screenplay.[2]
Personal life
He has a son from a former relationship, Máté Martinkovics (born 1994), whom he first met when Martinkovics was ten years old. Later, he also became an actor; they played father and son in the 2025 television series Bróker Marcsi.[4] He also has two daughters.[5]
Thuróczy has been a supporter of the football club Ferencvárosi TC since childhood.[6] He played football during his school years.[2]
