The transition to the sound film was no problem for him and he continued his career in Germany seamlessly during the early 1930s.
He was married to actress René Sello.
During the second half of the 1920s, he became one of the busiest supporting actors in the German-Austrian silent cinema. The burly Szöreghy embodied usually comic characters, including strange relatives, servants, petty bourgeois and officials.
He went to Austria in 1920 where he became a demanded actor as well. Finally he came to Germany in 1925 where he experienced the height of his film career.
He also played Sikes in Twist Olivér/Oliver Twist (Márton Garas, 1919), a Hungarian adaptation of the novel Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens.
