The Hungarian actor Julius von Szöreghy was born as Gyula Szöreghy in Budapest in 1883 or 1887 (depending on the source).

From 1902 he worked regularly at Hungarian theaters as an actor before he also gained a foothold at the Hungarian silent film.

To his first movies belong "Hazasodik az uram" (13), "Monna Vanna" (16), "Mary Ann" (18), "Twist Olivér" (19) and "A Csodagyerek" (20).

Finally he came to Germany in 1925 where he experienced the height of his film career.
Within no time he became one of the most busiest support actors of the German silent film and because of his appearances he often impersonated comical roles.

The transition to the sound film was no problem for him and he continued his career in Germany seamlessly during the 30s. 
He appeared among others in the productions "Das Kabinett des Dr. Larifari" (30), "Das alte Lied" (30), "Grock" (31), "Mein Leopold" (31) and "Nachtkolonne" (32).

When the National Socialist seized the power in Germany he returned to Hungary in 1934 where he remained active as a movie actor till his death.

But his last movie he shot at the locaction of his greatest successes - in Germany - with "Karneval der Liebe" (43).
