Who is Haluk Bilginer?
He was born on June 5, 1954, as the middle child of three children of insurance agent Tahsin Bey and housewife Bedriye Hanım.
He graduated from Izmir Turkish College. In his senior year of high school, he entered the theater department of his school and became a student of Cahit Gürkan.
He received his first award in the inter-high school theater competition organized by Demokrat İzmir Newspaper. He worked as a guest actor at the Izmir State Theater upon the invitation of the theater manager Ragıp Haykır, who was in the jury.
He became famous in England during his youth. So much so that he appeared on the cover of a magazine in England with the title “the sexiest Turk”.
He came to Istanbul for the first time in 1987 to shoot the movie The Other Face of the Night, and on the set of this movie he met Zuhal Olcay, whom he would marry in 1992.
He lived his life between Istanbul and London for a while. After getting married in 1992, the couple starred together in the TV series “Indiana Jones” in Hollywood and in Yavuz Özkan’s movie “Two Women” in Turkey. In 1996, he starred in Tomris Giritlioğlu’s film 80. Adım, and then in award-winning films such as “Istanbul Under My Wings”, “Master Beni Öldürsene”, and “Innocence”.

He took on leading roles in the Theater Studio’s plays Deception (Harold Pinter), Blood Brothers (Willy Russell), Take a Deep Breath (Ben Elton), Çöplük (Turgay Nar), Hysteria (Terry Johnson) and Balkon (Jean Genet). In 1993, he presented Turkey’s first reality show, Sıcağı Sıcandaki [citation needed].

He separated from Zuhal Olcay, whom he married in 1992, in 2004. The artist, who married pop music artist Aşkın Nur Yengi in 2006, has a daughter named Nazlı from this marriage.
