Miklós Vecsei (Budapest, May 22, 1992) is a Hungarian actor who won the Junior Prima Award. He writes adaptations, plays and has published two books of poetry; his nickname is Hasi, which often appears in his name as “H.”
Career
His father is Miklós Vecsei and his mother is Kinga Pattermann,[2] both social politicians.[3] He has four siblings and one older sibling who was adopted by his parents: Zoltán (Badó) and the younger siblings are Kinga (Zsebi), Mária (Marék), József (Joci) and Teréz (Dodó).[4]
He began writing at the age of 13, influenced by the religious education classes of Father Imre Kozma. He was 18 when his first volume was published, but after his university years he considered his poems at that time to be too verbose. He was introduced to theatre by a performance titled Ünnep (Celebration) directed by Enikő Eszenyi at the Pest Theatre, where he was captivated by the monologue of Iván Kamarás, whom he later met in person in connection with his poems. In his final year of high school, he was a student of the Ász Drama Group operating at the Árpád Gymnasium of the Ász Drama School.
After graduating from high school in 2010, he was admitted to the University of Theatre and Film Arts, where he graduated in 2015, in the class of László Marton, Géza D. Hegedűs and Péter Forgács.[6] He wrote his thesis entitled The Life of Timon of Athens.[7] During his university years, where he initially had difficulties, the play The Boy Who Turned into a Deer by Ferenc Juhász, directed by Attila Vidnyánszky, had such a great impact on him that he decided that he wanted to work in theatre.[8] He spent his internship year at the Csokonai National Theatre in Debrecen, on the director's advice. While still at university, he and his classmate, Attila Vidnyánszky Jr., formed a creative team, in which they would choose a topic together, discuss it and work on it. Miklós also worked on scriptwriting. Plays such as Timon of Athens, The Lady of Karnyóné, and Liliomfi were produced for the Ódry Theatre. Between 2015 and 2020, he was a member of the Vígszínház.[9]
In addition, together with Attila Vidnyánszky Jr., he leads the Sztalker Group, a community of young theatre artists founded in early 2017 with the help of producer Gábor Osváth, which launched with its first own show (Who has no one under the sky anymore) on the occasion of the Arany János anniversary. In addition to creating theatre performances, they also operate a set and furniture workshop in collaboration with Ádám Bajtai, a wood engineer, and Nóra Debrei, a designer.[10][11][12] Miklós H. Vecsei launched the Sztalker Group's reading promotion project called "POKET" in 2018.[13]
Since 2016, he has been a student at the doctoral school of the University of Theatre and Film Arts, where his supervisor was Annamária Radnai.[14]
He considers Lajos Bertók, Attila Kaszás and Antal Páger to be his main acting role models.[15] Meeting Viktor Rizsakov was also a defining experience for him.
He has guest starred at the Latinovits Theatre in Budaörs, the National Theatre in Budapest, the Csokonai National Theatre in Debrecen and has also participated in performances at the Katona József Theatre in Kecskemét[16]. In addition to his stage roles, he has acted in films and directed short films (the three-part web series The Lines, 2012)[17].
