Ulascan Kutlu

Ulascan Kutlu, born and raised in the chaos and charm of Istanbul, is something of a chameleon in the Turkish acting scene. He’s been grinding away in the film and TV industry since 2012, which, let’s be real, isn’t exactly a walk in the park. The guy’s not just another pretty face from the Istanbul Aydin University Theater Department; he’s got some serious chops. You might’ve caught him as Mete in the gritty anthology series “7-Yuz” back in 2017, where he brought this restless, layered energy to the role. It wasn’t your average TV gig—each episode in that series had its own wild story, and his character really left a mark. Then, fast-forward to 2019, and he pops up as Tunc in the film “Bilmemek.” That movie dives deep into social issues, and his performance? Raw, honest, and pretty unforgettable. Not a lot of actors can pull off vulnerability without it feeling forced, but Kutlu manages to thread that needle. He’s not just cruising on early success either. The guy keeps showing up, taking roles that actually mean something, and not shying away from tough subject matter. It’s clear he’s got range—whether he’s playing someone on the edge or a quiet observer, there’s always something simmering beneath the surface. Istanbul’s been his backdrop from the start, but honestly, Kutlu’s talent is way bigger than just one city. If you’re into Turkish cinema or just looking for someone who doesn’t phone it in, keep an eye on him.
