Necip Memili — Biography

Necip Memili is a theater-trained television actor who has become one of the familiar names enriching the ensemble casts of Turkish series. He reached his widest audience as Cumali in Çukur, and critics liked his performance in Şahsiyet. Today he plays Gürdal Bozok in Kanal D's Eşref Rüya.

He came to the stage from the electrical department of an industrial vocational school and a job in machine assembly: in 1999 he began as an amateur actor at the Adana Seyhan Municipal Theatre and then studied theater at the Çukurova University State Conservatory. In Istanbul he appeared in the play Uçurtmanın Kuyruğu with his childhood friend Caner Cindoruk. He entered television with Beşinci Boyut and Yaprak Dökümü; Zaloğlu Ramazan in Hanımın Çiftliği brought him his first real recognition. He went on to play Azer in Dila Hanım and Hakan Önder in Dolunay, and Evliya Çelebi in Muhteşem Yüzyıl: Kösem.

The Çukur years, 2018 to 2021, were the most visible years of his career. Afterwards he played Harun Servet in Darmaduman and Reha Özkan in Sandık Kokusu, and in film Şişe Kadir in Kaçma Birader and Necati in Aaahh Belinda. With Gürdal in Eşref Rüya he continued that line in 2025.

Their work through different eyes

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

Memili's work with Cem Yılmaz in Karakomik Filmler and Erşan Kuneri opens a lane apart from the crime world of Çukur. That the part in Erşan Kuneri goes under two names, Ameen Faryadi and Tilki Selim, suggests he was given something not tied to one tone. In my view Necip Memili's most interesting move is stepping into Yılmaz's comic world alongside the heavy crime series; that is how he escapes being a single type of hard supporting character.

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

Necip Memili finds his place in whatever genre a series takes him to: the family drama of Yaprak Dökümü, the historical series Muhteşem Yüzyıl Kösem with Evliya Çelebi, and Zaloğlu Ramazan in Hanımın Çiftliği, adapted from Orhan Kemal. Being remembered from a big ensemble is not easy, and in my view Memili's steadiness comes from this variety.
