Animal Actors

We have partnered with HORKAI Animal Training Center, led by Zoltan Horkai, Europe’s top wolf and wild animal trainer for the entertainment industry. Zoltan also founded the Veresegyház Bear Sanctuary, demonstrating his expertise with wild animals. HORKAI Animal Training Center specializes in training animals for international TV and film productions. Zoltan’s trained animals have appeared in movies alongside actors like Robert Redford, Anthony Hopkins, Brad Pitt, Richard Gere, Nicolas Cage, and Bear Grylls.

The wellbeing of the animals is the highest priority at HORKAI Animal Training Center. Each animal is treated with the utmost respect and is motivated naturally to perform tasks while ensuring their comfort and happiness. Safety is the top concern on every project worldwide. Risks are carefully assessed, and measures are put in place to create the safest possible environment, allowing crew members and animals to work together harmoniously. The animals are encouraged to cooperate in ways that match their natural behavior, ensuring both effectiveness and animal comfort.

From the dry, hot, and cold deserts of Turkey to the extreme snow and freezing conditions of the Arctic, from howling atop skyscrapers to crossing high tides, their reputation has been earned by meeting these challenges with determination.
