Çağdaş Onur Öztürk — Biography

Çağdaş Onur Öztürk is an actor who turned to the stage after studying landscape architecture and has appeared in many series since 2008. He became known for Barış Hakmen in Kuzey Güney and Vasilyus in Diriliş Ertuğrul. He plays Serhat Yalçın in Daha 17, which began on Kanal D on May 31, 2026.

While studying landscape architecture at Ege University he took up amateur theater at the urging of classmates. After graduating he did his military service, worked briefly as a pharmaceutical company representative and then entered the Performing Arts Department of the Anadolu University State Conservatory. Still a student, he made his television debut in 2008 in Gazi, and appeared the same year in Doğruluk Ekseni. Sakarya Fırat and Kuzey Güney (2011) were the standout work of his early years, followed by Böyle Bitmesin, Düşler ve Umutlar and Aşktan Kaçılmaz. In 2015 he acted in the film Tut Sözünü.

He reached a wide audience as Vasilyus in Diriliş Ertuğrul, which he left in 2017. In later years he took roles in productions such as Kış Güneşi, Avlu, Yuvamdaki Düşman, Fatma (Yusuf), Sevmek Zamanı (Taner), Sipahi (Yusuf Çetin), Prens and Asaf. He is also described as a producer alongside acting.

Their work through different eyes

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

Put Çağdaş Onur Öztürk's Tekfur Vasilius in Diriliş Ertuğrul next to his guard Oktay in Avlu and a type appears: both stand for the order the heroes face, the Byzantine side against the Kayı tribe in one, the prison regime over the women inmates in the other. In my view his screen type is less the protagonist than the wall the protagonist runs into.

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

Barış Hakmen in Kuzey Güney was one of the roles that made Çağdaş Onur Öztürk known to a wide audience, in a heavy two-season drama built on class difference and family sacrifice. Later comedies such as Prens and Ayak İşleri keep a very different rhythm: a prince nobody takes seriously in an absurd kingdom, and two partners rushing off on a new errand each episode. In my view the best way into Öztürk's work is this move from weekly drama to platform comedy.
