János Kulka (actor)

[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.

[3] 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.

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.

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.

[5] In 2016 he suffered a serious stroke resulting an aphasia, which disables his speech and limits his theatrical performances.
