Algı Eke — Biography

Algı Eke is an actress who started in television series and has leaned toward comedy films in recent years. She became widely known as Hülya Uçar in Galip Derviş, the Turkish version of Monk, for which she also wrote six episodes. Lately she stands out in cinema with Nasipse Olur 2, 7 Büyük Günah and the 2026 film Damat Mektebi.

From a Georgian-descended family from Artvin, Eke attended Cağaloğlu Anatolian High School, studied German Language and Literature at Istanbul University, and then trained in theater criticism and dramaturgy in Germany. Back in Turkey she met Mustafa Şevki Doğan and made her screen debut in 2008 with Baba Ocağı. Dürüye'nin Güğümleri, Keşanlı Ali Destanı and Annem Uyurken followed, and she appeared in Pinhani's video for Yitirmeden. For a time she also hosted the program Şişenin Dibi on netd.com with Celil Nalçakan.

In 2013 she shared the lead with İlker Ayrık in Kedi Özledi, playing Kıymet. She was then seen as Hasret in Kaygı, Esma in Kaçma Birader, Zarife in Hayat Sevince Güzel, Elif in İsimsizler and Atiye Kulaksız in Hizmetçiler. Sil Baştan Kaynanam, Aynasız Haluk and Mükemmel Aile are among her recent comedies.

Their work through different eyes

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

Kaygı is the weightiest of Algı Eke's films: she stars as Hasret at the head of a psychological thriller built on a repressed memory and the media's attitude to it, and the film was shown in Berlin's Panorama section and drew praise for its atmosphere. Kıymet in Kedi Özledi sits inside the familiar order of a romantic comedy. In my view the viewer who wants to take Eke seriously should start with Kaygı.

Series Binger A series devotee tracking character arcs, cast chemistry and season pacing.

The series idea that works best in Algı Eke's television career is Ayrılsak da Beraberiz: Berna and Teoman divorce but will not leave the house, splitting the living room with a screen, a sound set-up for a two-person duel. In Hizmetçiler Eke heads the cast with Deniz Baysal, but the story, a loose adaptation of a Mexican series, found no audience. In my view her series work stands better when a clear two-hander gives her a share she can carry.
