Gonca Vuslateri — Biography

Television comedy, theater, newspaper columns and screenwriting all feature in the work of Turkish actress Gonca Vuslateri. She became widely recognized for Yalan Dünya, where she played two characters at once, above all the elderly Aunt Vasfiye. Since late 2025 she has been seen in Leyla: Hayat... Aşk... Adalet... as Nur Yıldız.

She took acting lessons from childhood, studied theater at the Müjdat Gezen Art Center and made her first screen appearance in Ruhsar. Small parts followed in series such as Aliye, Eyvah Kızım Büyüdü and Canım Ailem. The turning point came with Ceyla in Küçük Sırlar and with Yerden Yüksek, and Yalan Dünya then made her one of the recognizable faces of Turkish comedy. Later she played Şule Akçay in Anne and Derin Günday Boztepe in Tehlikeli Karım. On the big screen she appeared in Bornova Bornova, Kaybedenler Kulübü, Bizans Oyunları: Geym of Bizans, Düğüm Salonu and Zaferin Rengi, and she also took part in the Netflix series Sıcak Kafa.

For her comedy performance she received the Golden Butterfly for best comedy actress, and on stage she has won two Afife Jale awards and a Sadri Alışık award. She has published a poetry book, Manik Serçe, wrote the screenplay of the film Cenazemize Hoş Geldiniz, writes a column for Hürriyet and presents a program on NTV Radio.

Their work through different eyes

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

Playing Eylem and Aunt Vasfiye at the same time in Yalan Dünya gave Gonca Vuslateri her own corner of television comedy. Her range on the small screen is wider than that type, though: she is Şule Akçay in Anne and Nur Yıldız in Leyla: Hayat… Aşk… Adalet..., both heavy family drama or psychological thriller. What interests me is that a face known for comedy also has a place in a story like Anne, which is built around a child being mistreated.

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

In my view Gonca Vuslateri's film work has been tested less than her television. In Bizans Oyunları the Mayans migrate to Anatolia, in Başıbozuklar an amateur band takes a wrong turn onto an American missile base: in both the premise carries the laugh, and there seems little room for the careful character-building she showed in Yalan Dünya.

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

The easiest Gonca Vuslateri work to watch as a family is Yalan Dünya: two families living side by side in Cihangir, sitcom pace, and Aunt Vasfiye's humor suits every age. Canım Ailem mixes family drama and comedy, so it works together too. Keep Anne for the grown-ups because of its child-abuse theme, and Sıcak Kafa is a dystopian thriller, not for small children.
