Mine Tugay — Biography

Mine Tugay is an actress whose career runs from the theater stage to leading television roles. Her widest recognition came as narcotics chief inspector Suna in Behzat Ç. Bir Ankara Polisiyesi, and she is also known as an award-winning stage actress for the play Karatavuk. In recent years she has appeared in productions such as Gülümse Kaderine, Merve Kült and Can Borcu.

Her path began in children's theater: in 1997 she acted in Büyük Kulaklı Küçük Ayı, and the next year she entered the Istanbul University State Conservatory. After graduating she worked on the stages of Semaver Kumpanya and Tiyatro Dot, and completed a master's in advanced acting at Bahçeşehir University in 2006. Karatavuk brought her best actress awards at the LIONS Theatre Awards in 2008 and the Afife Jale Theatre Awards in 2009, and the short film Yoldaki Kedi won her an award at the Sinepark Short Film Festival.

Her screen career began in 2003 with Gülbeyaz, followed by leading roles in Gülpare, Benden Baba Olmaz and Aynadaki Düşman. After Behzat Ç. she played Bahar in Öyle Bir Geçer Zaman ki, Ender in Medcezir, Asuman in Paramparça, Şeniz Karaçay in Zalim İstanbul and Neval in Gülümse Kaderine. She co-hosted the 2013 Antalya Television Awards with Engin Hepileri.

Their work through different eyes

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

For Mine Tugay, the place to begin is Suna, the narcotics chief in Behzat Ç. Bir Ankara Polisiyesi: a chief inside the hard world of a police procedural. After that, look at Yalan Dünya; seeing her as the psychologist Aysu at sitcom pace shows both ends of her career in one go. The rest of her work circles around these two.

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

Mine Tugay's range across genres is wide: a narcotics chief in Behzat Ç. Bir Ankara Polisiyesi, a psychologist in Yalan Dünya, Bacı Aslı in a historical comedy like Hacivat Karagöz Neden Öldürüldü?. In my view the ability to change tone from police drama to sitcom to period comedy is the strongest part of her career; it does not fit a single mold.
