Gyula Csortos (1883–1945) was a Hungarian stage and film actor who appeared in 80 films between 1912 and 1944. He was excellent in dramatic and comic roles, with his acerbic humor, eccentric personality and stage banter he was the enfant terrible of Hungarian theater.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 3, #2, 16), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
