Serdar Orçin — Biography

Serdar Orçin is one of the most decorated male actors of Turkish theater, film and television. His standing in cinema was cemented by Eve Dönüş: Sarıkamış 1915, Borç and Ceviz Ağacı, each of which brought him a Best Actor award. He currently plays Cihan in Güller ve Günahlar.

He began in theater at high school, trained at the Müjdat Gezen Art Center and graduated in 1999. In 2000 he joined the Istanbul City Theatres, also working with the Istanbul State Theatre, the Yayla Art Center and the Yeditepe Players, and he took part in founding the Istanbul Royal Theatre. His rise in cinema began with Yazgı, which earned him a special jury prize at the Antalya Golden Orange and the promising new actor award at the Ankara Film Festival. Can, in which he shared the lead, was the first Turkish film in the international competition of Sundance and won its special jury prize. His long list of series and films includes Bekleme Odası, Gümüş, Gözetleme Kulesi, Behzat Ç. Bir Ankara Polisiyesi, Muhteşem Yüzyıl, Beş Kardeş and ANKA, and he played Mert in Eşkıya Dünyaya Hükümdar Olmaz.

On stage, he was named theater actor of the year at the Kemal Sunal Culture and Arts Awards in 2015 for On İki Öfkeli Adam. He sits on the board of the Actors' Union. In 2025 he married the actress Ece Dizdar.

Their work through different eyes

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

Serdar Orçin's foundation in cinema is Zeki Demirkubuz: Üçüncü Sayfa, Yazgı, Bekleme Odası and Kıskanmak bring him into the same director's world four times. The prizewinning Eve Dönüş: Sarıkamış 1915 and Borç are, in my view, built on that foundation; they carry the seriousness of an actor schooled by a distinctive director and brought to wider films. To grasp his mark on cinema, those four films come first.

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

Behzat Ç. Bir Ankara Polisiyesi is a sensible way into Serdar Orçin's series: a police procedural about murder cases in Ankara. At the opposite end sits Prens, a comedy set in an invented kingdom and a good stop for his lighter side. Between them are a historical series like Muhteşem Yüzyıl and Galip Derviş, which mixes crime and comedy; on television he has not been squeezed into a single mold.
