Ferit Aktuğ, born Mustafa Ferit Aktuğ, is an actor known for television series who has also worked as a presenter. In a career of more than twenty years he has appeared in roles such as the police chief in Kavak Yelleri and Taylan in Ufak Tefek Cinayetler. In 2026 he plays neuropsychiatry head Prof. Dr. Ekin Kurtulan in Doktor: Başka Hayatta.

After Ceyhan Halil Çiftçi Anadolu Lisesi he graduated from the Department of Economics at Dokuz Eylül University, and in 2001 took on-camera acting training at Akademi İstanbul Sanat. He began in 2002 as Aslan in TRT 1's Koçum Benim, then appeared in Kampüsistan and Haziran Gecesi; his film debut was Çağan Irmak's Mustafa Hakkında Herşey. His real breakthrough was playing Metin Kaygısız in Kavak Yelleri (2007-2011), where he stayed for a long run. He then became Mahir in Aramızda Kalmasın, Genco in Kördüğüm and Taylan Kaner in Ufak Tefek Cinayetler.

In 2019 he went on stage in the play Timsah at DasDas; in 2020 he played Selim in the film Eltilerin Savaşı and hosted the atv game show Şans Kapıyı Çalınca. In later years he appeared as Bora in Sefirin Kızı, Ali Kaya in Ah Nerede, Murat Erden in Bambaşka Biri, Tevfik Moralı in Arka Sokaklar (2024), and in the digital series Antrenör and Fer in 2025.

Their work through different eyes

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

Ferit Aktuğ's television breakthrough is his long stay in Kavak Yelleri, which ran from 2007 to 2011. After that warm mix of youth, family and comedy, his Taylan Kaner in Ufak Tefek Cinayetler asks for a very different tone: a psychological thriller in which an old school prank ends in murder years later. His Genco in Kördüğüm sits in a story of love and transformation. In my view the most interesting shift to watch is from the first to the second.

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

Ferit Aktuğ's mark on cinema is less distinct than on television. He plays a policeman in Düğün Dernek 2: Sünnet and the second policeman in the hospital in Mustafa Hakkında Herşey: small, functional parts. They do not stand in for the characters he builds in series, and Selim in Eltilerin Savaşı is likewise a comedy-film part. He is more rewarding in the series format, where continuity does the work.
