Buğra Gülsoy — Biography

Behiç Buğra Gülsoy is a many-sided performer who moved from architecture to acting. He reached a wide audience as Vural in Fatmagül'ün Suçu Ne? and as Güney Tekinoğlu in Kuzey Güney, where he shared the lead with Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ. Besides acting he works as a screenwriter, short-film director, author, photographer and graphic designer, and has written the books Birinci Kıyamet, İkinci Kıyamet and Luna.

He grew up in Ankara, first went on stage at thirteen and graduated in architecture from Eastern Mediterranean University in 2004. In his Cyprus years he acted with the Cyprus State Theatre, made short films, was among the founders of the Cyprus Film Association and became project designer and director of the International Cyprus Short Film Festival. He first appeared on screen in 2008 in Hepimiz Birimiz İçin and entered cinema with Güneşi Gördüm; Unutulmaz (2009) and Derviş Zaim's Gölgeler ve Suretler (2010) came next, followed by the role of Vural. Kuzey Güney brought him a best TV series actor award in 2012. Later came Eski Hikaye (Mete), Aşk Yeniden (Fatih), Görümce, Kızım (Demir Göktürk) and Uyanış: Büyük Selçuklu (Sultan Melikşah).

Writing runs alongside the acting: he wrote the screenplays for Mutluluk Zamanı and for Acı Tatlı Ekşi (2017), in which he also starred. With friends he founded Tiyatro Kutu and later GET Yapım. Recent work includes Cebimdeki Yabancı (Kerem), Dünyayla Benim Aramda (Tolga) and Bahar (Evren Yalkın), which ended at the close of 2025; in 2026 he joined the cast of Düğünümüz Var.

Their work through different eyes

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

Buğra Gülsoy's television peak is Kuzey Güney: two seasons, 80 episodes, and in a series built on class difference and family sacrifice he shares the lead as Güney Tekinoğlu. What follows is not as weighty: romantic comedy in Aşk Yeniden, historical drama in Uyanış: Büyük Selçuklu, and in Azize a crime drama pulled after six episodes. In my view he has not recaptured the sustained hold of Kuzey Güney.

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

Buğra Gülsoy's choices in cinema are more interesting than his television. Güzel Günler Göreceğiz weaves five characters' unaware, crossing stories into a single day in Istanbul; Cebimdeki Yabancı is an adaptation in which friendships are tested at a dinner where phones go on the table. In Acı Tatlı Ekşi he wrote the screenplay and took one of the leads. In my view ensemble films and small human stories show a more distinctive side of him.

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

For family viewing with Buğra Gülsoy: Aşk Yeniden, a romantic comedy built on a pretend marriage, and Görümce, a comedy about a woman excessively devoted to her brother. Both suit a living room. Cebimdeki Yabancı, a dinner film where secrets on phones come out, is better kept for adults. Azize moves through the criminal world and is not for children.
