Ruhi Sarı — Biography

Ruhi Sarı is an experienced actor from Trabzon who has worked in theater, cinema and television for over thirty years and appeared in more than ninety productions. He won several awards for his film roles; on television he is known for Ömer in Yeditepe İstanbul, Huşeng in Yarım Elma and Eko in Sultan Makamı. In recent years he has played Seyfi in Kırmızı Oda, Sami in Kusursuz Kiracı and Serhat in Maviye Sürgün.

A graduate of the theater department of Selçuk University State Conservatory, he began at Kartal Sanat Tiyatrosu and went on stage in plays such as Çapraz Aşklar, Ağır Roman and 2'si 1 Arada. His film career opened in 1995 with Rıfat in Tunç Başaran's Sen de Gitme Triyandafilis, a role that brought awards from the Antalya Golden Orange, Adana Golden Boll and Ankara International film festivals. Üçüncü Sayfa earned him several Best Actor awards and Hiçbiryerde a Best Supporting Actor prize, and he widened his range with Maruf, the Italian production Derviş, Kabadayı and Made in Europe, where he played a drug-addicted emigrant and shared the 2008 Golden Boll Best Actor award with the film's other male actors.

On television he began in 1999 with Star TV's Zilyoner, then played Satılmış Ballıoğlu in Yedi Numara, Tarantino in Aşk Yakar and Sadullah in Kırgın Çiçekler. He married art director Natali Yeres in 2004 and they have a son; the marriage ended in 2018.

Their work through different eyes

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

Ruhi Sarı's film work is often made of supporting parts that give a film meaning without carrying its weight. In Hiçbiryerde, Veysel is the son whose disappearance puts a void at the center of Tayfun Pirselimoğlu's first film, while the main burden falls on the mother, Şükran. Üçüncü Sayfa, with İsa in Zeki Demirkubuz's film, is the work that puts him more forward. That he also appears in a light musical comedy like Neredesin Firuze shows the same actor can stand in two very different film worlds.

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

Ruhi Sarı's television work leaves less of a mark than his cinema. Huşeng in Yarım Elma sits in the supporting cast around the story of the twin sisters, and Seyfi in Kırmızı Oda is part of an anthology structure where the cast changes from episode to episode. In both there is little room for a part to build a long line. In my view television has not given him the chance that his dense supporting film roles did.
