Özcan Varaylı — Biography

Özcan Varaylı is one of Turkish television and cinema's prolific character actors. He is remembered above all as Cerrahpaşalı Halit in Kurtlar Vadisi, the character who killed Süleyman Çakır, the role that made him widely known. A self-taught "alaylı" actor who came up on theater, film and television sets rather than in drama school, he has kept working on screen for decades.

He is said to have been acting since 1985, and one of his first series roles came in Aynalı Tahir in 1998, followed by Gülbeyaz, Sırlar Dünyası and Kurşun Yarası. After Kurtlar Vadisi he played Kopuk Kemal in Komiser Nevzat and Baretta Kudret in Arka Sokaklar. In the 2010s he played Şeref in Filinta, Enver in Kanal D's Tutsak and Çakal Necmi in Vuslat.

He later played the Israeli ambassador in Teşkilat, joined Gönül Dağı as Rüstem in 2023 and was in the cast of Kuruluş Orhan in 2025. On the big screen he played Falkon in Kuşatma Yedi Uyuyanlar and the man on the bus in 11.
