Alper Kul — Biography

Alper Kul is a versatile Turkish actor and writer who moves between stage, screen and the page. Wide audiences knew him for years as İsmail Canevimden in Güldür Güldür Show and as Temel in the Sümela'nın Şifresi: Temel films. More recently he has toured a one-man show in Turkey, playing Trabzon in June 2026.

He began in theater. He studied in the Theatre Department of Indiana University and from 1994 worked with groups such as the City Theatres, DOT, IUSB and BKM. He brought Caveman, Broadway's longest-running one-man show, to Turkey for the first time (2009); performed his own Babamın Oğlu for three years in Turkey and Europe, won a Writer of the Year award for AUT, and wrote Barselo. His screen career began with Hamam (1997) and Kınalı Kar (as Demir), followed by Şen Yuva, Osmanlı Tokadı and Muhteşem Yüzyıl. He then turned to comedy shows: 5'er Beşer, İnsanlar Alemi and, from 2013, Güldür Güldür, whose concepts he also helped design. He left the program in 2024.

In cinema he wrote and acted in Olur Olur (as Ali) and appeared in films such as Dedemin Fişi, Ölümlü Dünya and Moskova'nın Şifresi: Temel. He published the novel Dışarıdakiler in 2021 and directed the play Kadife Tavşan in 2025. He married actress Aylin Kontente in 2012, and they have two children.

Their work through different eyes

AI-assisted editorial takes on this person's screen work, written from different viewer perspectives. They are not reader comments; those are below.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

For watching with the family, Sümela'nın Şifresi: Temel is a good way into Alper Kul: the comic adventure of Temel, a naive, penniless young man from the Black Sea. Olur Olur is an easy comedy built around familiar faces of television comedy. Watch Dedemin Fişi with the grown-ups: a plot about the inheritance of a grandfather on life support may be heavy for children.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

Alper Kul's film work mostly comes out of the same formula: Dedemin Fişi, Cici Babam and Ölümlü Dünya are crowded comedies built around a family story. Dedemin Fişi is the most orderly example, resting on character comedy and balancing its large cast without confusion. Parts like Hicri, Şaman Ruşen and Oktay, inside such large ensembles, do not get to stand out one by one, and that pulls the films closer to each other.

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

Temel is Alper Kul's best-known part and less a person than a type: a naive, penniless young man who stands in for the people of the Black Sea and whom everyone mocks for his dreams. İsmail Canevimden in Güldür Güldür likewise comes from a sketch world that looks at everyday Turkey with a comic eye. Kul's strength is making regional and everyday types funny while keeping them likeable; the risk of this kind of comedy is the type hardening into cliché.
