Gyula Kabos (1887-1941) was a Hungarian actor and comedian, widely known for his comedic movie roles in the late 1930s. In his numerous later films he played the tragicomical small man in the hard years of the 30s, motivated by fear to carry out foolish acts.Naming citation (20121228/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
