Rasim Öztekin — Biography

Rasim Öztekin was one of Turkish comedy's best-loved performers, equally at home on stage and on screen. In 2016 he received from Ferhan Şensoy the kavuk of Kel Hasan Efendi, the emblem of traditional Turkish theater. Television audiences knew him above all as Fehmi in Seksenler. He died in Istanbul on March 8, 2021, aged 62.

His career ran along three tracks. After Galatasaray High School and the School of Press and Broadcasting at Istanbul University, he performed with amateur groups, then turned professional in Şensoy's Ortaoyuncular company. In the early 1990s he made television entertainment shows; in 1989 he had hosted Tele Düldül on TRT, and in 1994 he staged the musical 2071'de Türkiye. Around the same time he wrote program texts for TRT and was a columnist for the newspaper Akşam. On film and television he appeared as Bob Marley Faruk in G.O.R.A, Muzo in Pardon, İsmail in the Düğün Dernek films and Cavit in Mandıra Filozofu; Geniş Aile and Klavye Delikanlıları are also among his credits.

He won a supporting-actor prize at the Afife Theatre Awards in 2003 for Biri Bizi Dikizliyor and KALDER's most-quality-artist award in 2010. Because of ill health he passed the kavuk on to Şevket Çoruh on September 20, 2020. His daughter Pelin Öztekin is also an actress.

Their work through different eyes

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

Fehmi in Seksenler is where Rasim Öztekin is most at ease on television: a long-running character inside the Özdemir family in a ten-season neighborhood sitcom. Start there. Geniş Aile and Kardeş Payı sit in the same family-comedy vein but, in my view, never build as long an arc as Seksenler. Klavye Delikanlıları failed to find an audience and can be skipped.

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

Düğün Dernek 2: Sünnet and Çalgı Çengi İkimiz return as sequels to hit films with the same team and the same comic template. Rasim Öztekin is a capable comic actor in them, but because the script asks nothing new, the performance goes nowhere new either. In my view his work leans least on formula in a genre mix like Kabadayı or in an odd part such as Bob Marley Faruk in G.O.R.A.

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

In Seksenler, an ensemble that tells of a changing country through neighborhood and family, and in Düğün Dernek 2: Sünnet, where a circumcision feast grows into an affair for the whole city, Rasim Öztekin works the same ground. In my view his comedy keeps resting on one thing: the rituals of the ordinary family and neighborly solidarity.
