We've seen Istvan Kovacs perform countless unforgettable roles in front of the cameras: he was Fairy Koncz in Abigail, and Desiree in Zomszydok. He has proven himself in countless roles at the Vígszínház Theater, Thália Theater and József Attila.
Even at the age of eighty, the actor swims and walks a lot, walks everywhere he can, is full of energy, and his only regret is that he is not able to benefit much from this as an actor, because he does not. Get many orders – he said To blink.
-I have less work than ever before, I was last on stage about a year ago. I don't know why it turned out this way, but I'm not dealing with the situation well at all, because work has always been a source of refreshment and relaxation for me, and now the lack of it is affecting me.

When he was selected as a member of the Society of Immortals last year, the actor said that from the beginning of his career, he was used to being called all the time, never applied for a job, and wasn't the type to ask for roles, he thought it was a joke.
-I feel like I'm on a forced break, but I can't do anything about it, because I wasn't the type to call the manager and then log in to work. Of course, I don't think it's a bad thing if someone did that, but I'm not able to, it wouldn't be self-defining. He told the newspaper: “Unfortunately, I do not have any professional invitations during the coming period, but I am confident that this matter will change with the passage of time, as I have not thought for a moment about retiring.”
