Fatih Al — Biography

Fatih Al is an actor with a theater background, widely known as the miniaturist Matrakçı Nasuh in Muhteşem Yüzyıl and as the literature teacher Mahir Soysal in Not Defteri. He now works across streaming productions and television series; in 2025 he played Harun in Aile Saadeti and returned to the Baba Sahne stage with the play Çok Önemli Bir Haber.

A graduate of the Theatre Department at Ankara University's Faculty of Languages, History and Geography, he worked in city theaters. His screen career began in the mid-2000s with Sihirli Annem and Rüzgarlı Bahçe, and he played the worker Cemal in Hazan Mevsimi. 2011 was the turning point, bringing Seyfi Teoman's film Bizim Büyük Çaresizliğimiz and the series Muhteşem Yüzyıl in the same year. He then built a film presence with Evdeki Yabancılar, Daire (as Feramus), Karadayı, Misafir, Sonsuz Aşk and Smuggling Hendrix, and played Muzaffer in Kanatsız Kuşlar.

More recently he has taken part in Atiye, Adı Sevgi, Asaf, 39 Derecede Aşk and Aşkı Hatırla. He has also kept returning to the stage, with plays such as Korkuyu Beklerken and Giderayak.

Their work through different eyes

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

The miniaturist Matrakçı Nasuh in Muhteşem Yüzyıl and the literature teacher Mahir Soysal in Not Defteri: both parts that introduced Fatih Al to a wide audience belong to people of the pen, the book and learning. In my view this is the line that sticks with series viewers, a calm figure of knowledge amid the noise of the palace or the school.

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

Fatih Al's film choices lean towards independent and auteur cinema: in 2011 Seyfi Teoman's Bizim Büyük Çaresizliğimiz arrived in the same year as Muhteşem Yüzyıl, and Misafir is Mehmet Eryılmaz's second feature, winner of the FIPRESCI Award and the Grand Jury Prize in Montreal. In my view these choices balance television's crowded casts; the more distinctive half of his career is here.
