Kerem Alışık — Biography

Kerem Alışık is an actor who works in television, film, theater and poetry, and the son of two names of Turkish cinema, Sadri Alışık and Çolpan İlhan. He is remembered for playing his father's unforgettable Turist Ömer character again, as Cambaz Ömer, in Arif V 216. In 2026 he plays Sadık Karlıova in Haysiyet, which started on Kanal D.

In his youth he played for Anadolu Üsküdar 1908, but the artistic tradition of his family drew him to acting. As a child he was in the cast of Kocamın Nişanlısı (1965), in which his parents Sadri Alışık and Çolpan İlhan also appeared; his acting career began with Ferit Demiröz in Fırtınalar in 1995, starring Ebru Gündeş, and his first film as an adult was Savaş Ay's Dansöz. The 2000s brought series such as Günah, Şarkılar Seni Söyler, Aşk Mahkumu, Son Yüzleşme and Kördüğüm, and films such as Hoşgeldin Hayat and Hababam Sınıfı Askerde. In 2013 he played Fatin Rüştü Zorlu in Ben Onu Çok Sevdim and in 2015 Ayhan in Kara Sevda; 72. Koğuş, Bir Zamanlar Çukurova and Sipahi are among his later credits. He first stepped onto a stage at Tiyatro Kedi and received a theater award from the Magazine Journalists Association in 2006.

He also writes poetry, having published two collections, Kerem Misali and Öyle Sever Gibi Bakma Bana Alışık Değilim, and three poetry albums. Since 2005 he has taught at the Sadri Alışık Culture Center, founded with his mother, and in 2008 he presented the Kral TV Video Music Awards.

Their work through different eyes

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

For watching Kerem Alışık as a family, Arif V 216 is a fair start: a light science-fiction comedy with a robot, where he plays Canbaz Ömer. Hababam Sınıfı Askerde is a comedy the series' fans can share. 72. Koğuş deals with prison and Mevsim Çiçek Açtı with violence against women, so keep those for grown-ups.

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

In Arif V 216 Kerem Alışık's Canbaz Ömer reads as a salute to Turkish cinema's Turist Ömer, and that allusion is the film's most memorable cinephile move. But an allusion is not a field of acting; in my view anyone who wants to weigh Alışık should look past this Cem Yılmaz comedy to his serious film strand, the Orhan Kemal adaptation 72. Koğuş and Mevsim Çiçek Açtı.
