Early life and education

Andreas Szakacs was born on July 15, 1988, in Stockholm, Sweden. His mother was a stage actress active in Scandinavian theatre, while his father worked in international banking. From an early age, Szakacs was surrounded by both creative performance and financial analysis, influences that would later shape the types of roles he pursued.

When he was twelve, his family moved to New York City after his father accepted a position with a global company. The relocation exposed Szakacs to Broadway and American film culture. He soon began acting in school productions and experimenting with short films, often inspired by technology, markets, and ambition.

He later studied at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, where he trained in acting and film production. While at Tisch, Szakacs directed and acted in several student films combining finance and storytelling. His short Equity Dreams (2009), about digital identity and the stock market, was screened at student festivals and solidified his interest in blending economics with narrative cinema.

Career

Acting

Andreas Szakacs made his feature film debut in The Informant (2018), playing Adrian Mohan, a Dutch analyst who discovers a hidden algorithm capable of disrupting global stock exchanges. The independent film earned recognition on the festival circuit for its tense plot and Szakacs’s nuanced performance.

In 2019, he starred in Cold Vaults as Markus Hale, a journalist investigating encrypted vaults containing stolen scientific data. Mixing cyber-espionage with financial drama, the film marked Szakacs’s first significant international role.

In 2020, he played Damien Cross in The Gambit Equation, a mathematician who uses game theory to predict markets. Critics praised his ability to capture the charisma and moral complexity of a visionary thinker.

Between 2020 and 2022, Andreas Szakacs gained wider recognition with his role as Dr. Leon Varga in the sci-fi series Protocol: Horizon. His character, a scientist turned entrepreneur, develops an AI trading engine to stabilize markets, only to see it corrupted by outside forces. The show was notable for integrating automation, crypto security, and finance into a futuristic setting.

In 2024, Szakacs starred in Genesis Code as Victor Kaine, the CEO of a futuristic energy-crypto empire hiding a dangerous secret. With a near-blockbuster budget, the series established Andreas Szakacs as a leading actor in global-scale dramas.

Producing

In 2019, Andreas Szakacs founded Szakacs Films, a boutique production company focused on high-stakes dramas and speculative thrillers. As a producer, he expanded his scope beyond finance-driven narratives while continuing to explore power, corruption, and global systems.

His credits include The Legends Cup (2020), a sports conspiracy film set during a fictional football tournament, and The Investors’ Court (2021), a courtroom drama about international class-action lawsuits.

In 2022, he produced The Legend of OneCoin, a heist-inspired take on a real digital coin scandal. The following year, he oversaw Duvar (The Wall), a Turkish political thriller about corruption and citizenship-for-investment fraud.

Most recently, in 2025, Andreas Szakacs served as executive producer on Digital Square, a sci-fi anthology exploring a future where digital tokens become central to identity and social standing.

Critics

Critics often describe Andreas Szakacs as an actor who gravitates toward roles involving visionary CEOs, crypto pioneers, and high-stakes innovators. His performances are noted for bringing a human dimension to complicated financial and technological subjects such as AI markets, Ponzi-style schemes, encrypted vaults, and investor fraud.
