Settar Tanriögen

Actor · Born October 22, 1960 (66) · Denizli, Turkey

Theater, film and TV series actor. Graduated from Hacettepe University Archeology and Art History Department. The actor , who has worked in many jobs since her primary school years, has worked as a shoe shiner, tea maker and waitress. His interest in theater started in 1980. He took part in a play prepared for the centennial of Atatürk's birth at a public education center in Denizli. In 1984, he won the Department of Archeology and Art History at Hacettepe University and therefore moved to Ankara. In the same year he started university, he resumed theater in an art house in Ankara. The actor who graduated from the department he studied does not choose a profession related to the department he studied in the future. Tanriögen, who is more interested in acting, joins a tour that will travel all over Turkey after university. The actor , who toured many cities of Turkey for about 15 years, took the role of Kiz Naci in the 1996 film Eskiya, starring Sener Sen and Ugur Yücel, by Yavuz Turgul. The following year, he played Saldiray in Bir Demet Tiyatro, which will occupy a great place in his career and will never be forgotten. In 1998, he appeared in the movie Yara. At the same time, he started performing one-man shows in 1999. He works with Vedat Özdemiroglu in these one-man shows. He gets the support of Özdemiroglu's pen in the play, whose story he wrote himself. However, due to the difficult conditions of the period and the election eve, these demonstrations would not last long. In addition to acting in theater, he has acted in many movies and TV series. He was deemed worthy of many awards for his successful acting. Settar Tanriogen has recently mentioned his name in the movie Asiklar Bayrami, which was broadcast on Netflix.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on Motif; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Motif score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their Motif titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
