Ali Sunal — Biography

Ali Sunal began as the son of Kemal Sunal, one of Turkish comedy's great names, but has built his own career on stage, television and film. Today he is still seen as the character Aziz in Show TV's sketch program Güldür Güldür Show, where he also works as a presenter and choreography director.

Sunal studied business at Yeditepe University and graduated from Istanbul University's business department in 1999. His link with the theater goes back to those years: he worked with companies such as the Sadri Alışık Cultural Center Theatre and the Dormen Theatre, and later joined Tiyatro İstanbul. His first film role was Mahmut in Propaganda (1999), acting alongside his father, the only film they made together. A wider audience came to know him as Mustafa in the series En Son Babalar Duyar, followed by Sayın Bakanım, Benim Annem Bir Melek and Yaprak Dökümü.

From the 2010s he took leading parts too, starring in the films Yusuf Yusuf (2014) and Hayat Öpücüğü (2015), the latter also crediting him in production design. He later appeared in Dedemin Fişi (2016), Hareket Sekiz (2019) and Hava Muhalefeti (2023). Since 2013 he has been part of the Güldür Güldür team.

Their work through different eyes

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

For a family start with Ali Sunal, Dedemin Fişi is the one to try; he plays the father in this comedy, an easy pick for the whole family. Aziz in Güldür Güldür can be entered anywhere, since the show is built from standalone sketches. Okul is a horror-comedy; it may be too much for little ones, so leave it for the grown-ups. Bayrampaşa: Ben Fazla Kalmayacağım is a prison film and not for children.

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

Most of Ali Sunal's work gathers in comedy: Aziz in Güldür Güldür, Dedemin Fişi, Hayat Öpücüğü. In my view the most interesting detour is Yaprak Dökümü, where as Serhat he speaks in a quite different tone inside a family drama. A comedy line leaning on the sketch rhythm of Güldür Güldür can slide into repetition over time, which is why Yaprak Dökümü deserves a careful look.
