Their work through different eyes

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

Start Orhan Kılıç with Sağır Oda: he plays Aras Dağlı, the lead, in a series that mixes intelligence, action and political thriller. If you like pace, the second stop is Atsız Bey in Diriliş Ertuğrul, a world of adventure and action that most series viewers can step into easily.

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

Orhan Kılıç's work in Turkey keeps going back to history: Arnavut Mehmet in Elveda Rumeli, Tevfik in Taş Mektep, Atsız Bey in Diriliş Ertuğrul. The last years of Rumelia, the War of Independence, the founding of the Ottoman state: all favorite periods of the national memory. In Germany he worked in crime series such as Tatort and Wolffs Revier. His career thus splits into two genres in two countries, crime and history.
