Çağlar Ertuğrul — Biography

Çağlar Ertuğrul gave up mechanical engineering for acting and is now counted among the leading men of Turkish television drama. He has won the Golden Butterfly for best actor in two different categories, one for romantic comedy and one for a drama series, and in spring 2026 he began playing Kadir Tunalı in Çirkin on Star TV.

He first met the theater as a student at Koç University (Romeolar ve Julietler) and, after graduating, trained for a year at the 35 Buçuk Akademi. His breakthrough was the military film Dağ (2012), in which he played the lead; it earned far more than its small budget and made his name. An offer for Benim İçin Üzülme led him to leave engineering. He went on to Kurt Seyit ve Şura, Boynu Bükükler, Medcezir, Dağ 2, Biz Size Döneriz and Yanımda Kal, and played Yağız Egemen in Fazilet Hanım ve Kızları. In 2016-2017 he studied method acting and improvisational comedy at the Lee Strasberg school in West Hollywood.

The real step up came with Afili Aşk (2019-2020) and Teşkilat (2021-2022): the first won him the 2020 Golden Butterfly for best actor in a romantic comedy, the second the 2021 award for best actor in a TV series. He left Teşkilat because of injuries. His later work includes Magarsus and the Show TV series Kalpazan, where he played Kartal.

Their work through different eyes

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

In romantic series Çağlar Ertuğrul often plays the man who enters the heroine's world: Kerem, the wealthy, well-known playboy of Afili Aşk, and Kadir in Çirkin, the one true love of her life. In my view the mold keeps the male character as the pull at the center of her story rather than the subject of his own, and that pull is mostly what is asked of Ertuğrul.

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

If you want action, set aside Çağlar Ertuğrul's romantic series and look at Dağ 2, where he is Lieutenant Oğuz Çağlar inside a war and action drama. Teşkilat, an espionage series that mixes politics and action, goes the same way. His romantic parts are not for those who want pace.
