description: "György Barkó was a Romanian and Hungarian actor. Born to Csángó parents in the Kingdom of Romania, he joined his father in Northern Transylvania during World War II, becoming a subject of Regency Hungary. He spent much of his childhood in the Curvature Carpathians, before completing his secondary education in Sepsiszentgyörgy. During the late 1940s, the area was re-annexed by Romania, and Barkó reverted to his original citizenship; he began studying drama in Cluj in 1950, just shortly after the country had been turned into a communist republic. He found permanent employment at Cluj State Hungarian Theater, where he came to be used extensively in plays directed by György Harag and Gábor Tompa. Barkó developed as a character actor, achieving fame within the Hungarian community, and in Romania as a whole, for his roles in András Sütő's comedies and dramas."
