Bülent Yarar
Birthplace:
Ankara, Türkiye
Born:
January 1, 1961
Yarar was born in Ankara. He became interested in theatre at a youthful age after watching several plays with his family. He didn't participate in any professional plays until the end of high school. As his father was a violinist, Yarar became interested in music as well and enrolled in Mimar Sinan University Start Conservatory to learn singing. While learning opera, he joined the Turkish State Theatres as an extra actor and began working on the stage. The first play that he had a role in was Istanbul Efendisi. Due to pressures from his family, he eventually enrolled in the theatre department of the university that he was studying at and graduated in 1989. In the same year he began working at the Diyarbakir State Theatre. Between 1994-1995, he worked for Istanbul State Theatre. After returning to Istanbul, he directed the plays Ada and Getto for Tiyatro Ti. In 1998, he joined Tiyatro Studios and was cast in the leading role in The Balcony by Jean Genet, and in 1999 he had a leading role in an adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac. After beginning to work for Oyun Studios, he was cast in Ermisler ya da Günahkarlar alongside Haluk Bilginer and Senay Gürler. Together with Isil Kasapoglu, he directed the play Mem ile Zin for Semaver Company. Aside from his career on stage, he has appeared in various cinema and television productions. IMDb Mini Bio By; yusufpiskin
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
