Career

[edit]

Ülgen was educated at Ankara İnönü High School, METU School of Arts and Sciences, and then Hacettepe University Conservatory.[4] He started his theatre career at Erkan Yücel [tr]'s Ankara Public Theatre. He made his debut on stage as an extra in Atçalı Kel Mehmet and continued with different roles in various plays for both children and adult audiences.[5]

After the death of Erkan Yücel, like many artists, he left the Ankara Folk Theatre and joined the Ankara Art Theater under the direction of Rutkay Aziz. While performing in various plays in this venue, he earned the right to study at Hacettepe University Conservatory, Theatre Department.[5] After his graduation, he started to work as an actor and director at the State Theatres. During this period, he completed his master's degree.[5]

He was known for his role as "the wicked groom Kadir" in the television series En Son Babalar Duyar, which was broadcast between 2002 and 2006. His character, and especially the line "Hallederiz" (lit. we'll figure it out), were well received by the public. Ülgen, who was married for a while to Tülay Bursa [tr], a theatre artist like himself, continued his theatre and cinema studies in Ankara and Istanbul. He also presented a competition program called Bir Kelime Bir İşlem, which was broadcast on TRT1 for a while.[5]

Ülgen, who is actively involved in the works of NGOs, voluntarily took part in adaptations of Nâzım Hikmet's plays, staged as by Yılmaz Onay at the Nâzım Hikmet Cultural Center. He played the character of "Sinan Kaya" in the TV series Akasya Durağı, which was broadcast on Kanal D and Star TV between 2008 and 2012. He played the character of "Chemist Sıfırcı Ziya" in the TV series Bizim Okul, which was broadcast on ATV in 2013. He rose to prominence again with the character of "Necmi İplikçi" in the TV series Kiralık Aşk, which was broadcast on Star TV between 2015 and 2017. Most recently, he acted alongside Ata Demirer in the movie Niyazi Gül Dörtnala.[4]

Together with 226 names, including academics, artists, journalists, writers and lawyers, Ülgen is a signatory of the text read during the press release at the establishment of the Union of Socialist Forces, which was founded ahead of the 2023 Turkish general election.[6]
