Márk Ember

Márk Ember, born January 16, 1993, in Budapest, Hungary—yeah, that’s the city with the wild ruin bars and crazy history—has been quietly carving out a name for himself both on screen and behind the scenes. He’s not just another actor in the Hungarian scene. Nope, he’s also a writer, so you know he’s got thoughts percolating behind those roles he takes. You might’ve spotted him in “Gone Running” (2024)—it’s got that edge-of-your-seat intensity, and he fits right into the chaos, bringing a vibe that hooks you from the first frame. Before that, he was in “Bátrak földje” (2020), which is this period drama that’s all about grit and loyalty, and somehow, Márk makes you root for him even when you’re not sure you should. And let’s not forget “A Viszkis” (2017), which dives into the true story of a legendary Hungarian bank robber. Márk doesn’t play it safe; he’s got this knack for picking roles that are messy, complicated, a little bit dangerous. Off camera, he’s just as interesting—seriously, the guy writes, which probably explains why his characters always feel like there’s something going on beneath the surface. You can tell he’s not phoning it in; there’s some real passion and a bit of that Budapest edge. Born and raised there, it seeps into his work, whether he’s dodging bullets or navigating tricky relationships. If you’re looking for someone who brings depth, a little swagger, and a good dose of unpredictability, Márk Ember’s your guy.
