Early life
He was born to Gyula Cserhalmi and Magda Varga. Through his opera singer mother, he was introduced to the world of the arts from an early age. On his mother's side, he is also related to former Hungarian Prime Minister Béla Miklós.
Originally, Cserhalmi planned to apply for a fencing coach training program. However, after learning that students were immediately conscripted into military service, he changed his mind. Instead, he enrolled at the Academy of Theatre and Film Arts in Budapest, graduating in 1971. As an actor, he regarded Zoltán Latinovits and Lajos Őze as his greatest role models.
