Aslı Tandoğan — Biography

Aslı Tandoğan trained as a professional harpist before turning to acting, and her name is most associated with Lamia Sönmez in Dudaktan Kalbe. Recently she has been in the casts of Prens and Mehmed: Fetihler Sultanı, and she is set to play the title character in the project Kara Fatma.

She was involved with music from childhood: she spent about ten years at the Ankara State Conservatory of Hacettepe University, first playing the violin for a year and then moving to the harp. After playing harp in the Antalya State Opera and Ballet orchestra she moved to Istanbul in 2003 to act. Her first screen work was Gülüm in 2002. In 2005 she made her name as Dilan Şahvar in Aşka Sürgün, and in 2007 she moved into cinema as Karaca opposite Kenan İmirzalıoğlu in Kabadayı. Dudaktan Kalbe, which aired the same year, introduced her to a wide audience.

Later she took very different parts in Kapalı Çarşı, Zehirli Sarmaşık, Bir Zamanlar Osmanlı: Kıyam, A.Ş.K., Leyla ile Mecnun and, as Ilgın, in the Behzat Ç. universe, and she played a sultan's daughter in Muhteşem Yüzyıl: Kösem. Git Başımdan, Kendime İyi Bak, Yuvamdaki Düşman and Kadınlara Mahsus are also among her credits. Years later she reunited with a Dudaktan Kalbe co-star on a new project.

Their work through different eyes

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

For Aslı Tandoğan in a faster gear, start with Behzat Ç. Ankara Yanıyor, which carries her Ilgın from the series into a hard-edged police film. In Kabadayı she plays Karaca inside a quick-moving neighborhood crime story. For period action there is Bir Zamanlar Osmanlı: Kıyam, driven by plots ahead of an uprising.

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

What stands out in Aslı Tandoğan's series work is the range of tone. In Dudaktan Kalbe she was among the leads of a romantic melodrama as Lamia Sönmez; in Leyla ile Mecnun she stepped into Onur Ünlü's absurdist comedy as Eleanor; in Behzat Ç.: Bir Ankara Polisiyesi she became Ilgın Çetin in a dark police world. In my view she never looks out of place in any of the three tones, and Ilgın later being carried into a film supports that.

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

Aslı Tandoğan's costume dramas, in my view, leave less of a mark than her contemporary series. In Muhteşem Yüzyıl Kösem, Gevherhan Sultan is one part of a crowded cast of sultans and sultanas, and Canseza in Bir Zamanlar Osmanlı: Kıyam sits inside a story of rebellion. In Kapalı Çarşı, Diyar Keskin stands inside a circle of friends working in the Grand Bazaar, on an everyday social ground, and that gives the actress a more distinct place.
