Hüseyin Soysalan — Biography

Hüseyin Soysalan moved from the state theater stage to television, and for roughly a quarter of a century the Turkish actor has been seen in supporting and character parts in series. He currently plays Nusret Ağa in Kanal D's Eşref Rüya; audiences know him from earlier widely watched productions such as Ezel, Karadayı and Gönül Dağı.

His training and early years were rooted in the theater. After Bahçelievler Deneme Lisesi he entered the Ankara State Theatre Conservatory and graduated from its theater department in 1984. He joined the state theaters, spent two years training in Adana, and then worked in the Ankara company until 2008. His screen career began in 2000 as a nightclub owner in Bizim Evin Halleri, and in his early years he played Zülfikar Ağa in Keloğlan Masalları. After 2010 he was on screen more often, playing Hayratlı Sait in Ezel, Kütük Nail in Karadayı and Salih Gülmez in Eşkıya Dünyaya Hükümdar Olmaz.

In the following years he played Feyyaz in Çukur, Şeref Mollaoğlu in Kuzey Yıldızı İlk Aşk and İrfan Kaya in Gönül Dağı. In cinema he took parts in films such as Kurtuluş Son Durak, and he has also done voice work for some productions.

Their work through different eyes

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

For anyone who wants to see Hüseyin Soysalan at full tempo, Ezel is the tightest piece: a revenge story of two seasons and 71 episodes. Çukur and Karadayı come next; both carry conflict and crime, but the episodes are long. Eşkıya Dünyaya Hükümdar Olmaz, at 199 episodes, is a journey that starts fast and stretches out.

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

Hüseyin Soysalan's last decade has largely been spent in one world: Çukur, Eşkıya Dünyaya Hükümdar Olmaz and Eşref Rüya are all series built around neighborhood order, crime and honor. In my view this repetition has secured him a dependable place in supporting parts but kept the range narrow; a romance-family series like Dila Hanım or the family comedy of Gönül Dağı is a better example of another side of the same actor.
