György Gát was a Hungarian television director and producer who lived from 5 February 1947 to 13 March 2024.
He was often given the name George Gat. Additionally, he often taught at Budapest’s ELTE University.
György Gát was born on February 5, 1947, in Budapest. The crime-comedy TV show Linda (1984–1989) was Gát’s first big success. Nóra Görbe, his wife, starred in Linda.
Gát made history as Hungary’s first independent television producer during “Linda”‘s pre-production, a distinction the authorities at the time refused to recognize.

In 2008, he co-wrote and co-directed “A Kis Vuk” (English: A Kis Vuk), the sequel to the animated film Vuk.
On March 13, 2024, Gát passed away at the age of 77. He is survived by his wife Nóra Görbe and 3 children.
