Early life edit

Kulka was born in Budapest, but spent most of his childhood in Szeged, where his father, Frigyes Kulka was an internationally acclaimed surgeon. His father came from Ipolyság (currently Šahy in Slovakia), and was a Holocaust survivor, who lost his family during the war.[1] His mother, Eszter Boleman was recruited as an anchorwoman for the first experimental television broadcasts in Hungary, but the revolution in 1956 interrupted her career.[2] His sister, Janina Kulka is a full professor of pathology at the Semmelweis University.[3]

Career edit

He started his career as a child actor at the National Theatre of Szeged, and wanted to study liberal arts, but eventually changed his mind and was admitted to the Academy of Drama and Film in Budapest. After his graduation in 1981, he joined the National Theatre of Pécs. In 1985 he signed on to the Gergely Csiky Theatre of Kaposvár, which was a leading Hungarian theatre of the time. Kulka considers these years to have a huge impact on his way of acting, and benefitted much from this experience later in his career.[4] From 1993 he was the member of the Radnóti Miklós Theatre and in 2003 he joined the Hungarian National Theatre, where he stayed for 10 years. In 2013 he didn't renew his contract mainly due to the departure of Róbert Alföldi, who was the director of the theatre for five years. Between 2013 and 2018 he was the member of the Katona József Theatre in Budapest.

Most Hungarians know Kulka as Mágenheim doktor, an emergency physician of high principles from the series Szomszédok (Neighbours), an extremely popular television programme running between 1987 and 1999, depicting the transition of Hungary from socialism into a democratic state. Besides stage acting, he was a prominent voice actor known as the Hungarian voice of Hugh Laurie in House, M.D. and Jeremy Irons in The Borgias.

Personal life edit

He publicly came out as gay in 2013.[5] In 2016 he suffered a serious stroke resulting an aphasia, which disables his speech and limits his theatrical performances. Ever since he is doing efforts to raise awareness of the disorder.[6]
