Victor Rebengiuc (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈviktor rebenˈdÍ¡Ê'juk];

known in full as Victor-George Rebengiuc; born February 10, 1933) is

an award-winning Romanian film and stage actor, also known as a civil

society activist. Since 1957, he has been a member of the Bulandra

Theater company, acting in more than 200 roles on that stage alone.

Having had his breakthrough performance with Liviu Ciulei's The Forest

of the Hanged, Rebengiuc became a major figure in Romanian cinema, and

became especially known for his 1986 appearance in Stere Gulea's

Moromeţii. He also starred in films by Dan Piţa (Tănase Scatiu;

Dreptate în lanţuri; Faleze de nisip; The Man of the Day) and Lucian

Pintilie (De ce trag clopotele, Mitică?; Balanţa; Too Late; Last

Stop Paradise; Niki and Flo; Tertium non datur). Rebengiuc was

celebrated for his stage performances, appearing in plays directed by,

among others, Ciulei, Radu Penciulescu, Andrei Şerban, Cătălina

Buzoianu, Yuri Kordonsky, Gábor Tompa and Alexandru Dabija. The

former husband of actress Anca VereÅŸti, he is married to Mariana

Mihuţ, his Bulandra colleague.Rebengiuc's life under the communist

regime provided him an anti-communist perspective, and some of his

1980s films were censored or banned by the country's officials. In

1989, he took part in the Romanian Revolution, when he was among the

people who stormed into the Romanian Television building and broadcast

the downfall of Nicolae CeauÅŸescu and an end to communist rule.

Rebengiuc subsequently spoke out against political forces he believes

stand for the regime's legacy in modern society, and called for the

retrospective condemnation of communism. As a public figure, he has

had a brief career in politics, and, since the mid-1990s, endorses

non-governmental organizations.A native of Bucharest, Rebengiuc hails

from a modest family. After his parents separated when he was three

years old, he and his younger brother were raised by their maternal

grandparents. He grew up on the city's outskirts, in the low-income

quarters, and, as he remembers, his family frequently changed

residence in order to afford the rent. They lived in Dristor, then in

Chiajna, Rahova, Dealul Spirii and ultimately northern Bucharest. His

father Gheorghe, whom the two sons seldom met, was drafted during

World War II, and died fighting in the land Forces during the Battle

of Stalingrad; Victor and his brother were subsequently granted a

pension. His mother worked as a clerk, and, just before her

retirement, was an employee of the Transport Ministry. Rebengiuc

credits his father's genes with his own acting ability. He noted in an

interview: "I was pained by my father's absence and, in a way, I

always felt like there was something missing, although the bond

between us was not strong."Victor Rebengiuc completed his secondary

studies at the Military High School, a school which he is grateful to

for having instilled in him a sense of discipline. After a period of

collaboration with an amateur troupe located in the Vitan area,

Rebengiuc attended the Theater Institute, where he had for his

professor actress Aura Buzescu, whom he credits, alongside Clody

Bertola, with having inspired his technique. Among the artists who

have shaped his work, Rebengiuc also includes the major Soviet actors

Mikhail Zharov and Ruben Simonov, whose performances in films he

followed closely, and his older Romanian colleague Radu Beligan. He

says: "Back when I started I was acting with the amateurs, I was

imitating Beligan. [...] Only when I was undergoing examination at the

Institute, I was told, 'hey, you're imitating Beligan!' And then I

realized it and try to get rid of this thing."
