Serhat Kılıç — Biography

Serhat Kılıç is an actor from a stage background who has worked across theater, television, film and presenting in Turkey. He reached his widest audience as Ergun in Seksenler, while his Imam Hamdi in Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Palme d'Or winner Kış Uykusu is his most distinctive screen role. In 2025 he joined the cast of Mehmed: Fetihler Sultanı as Deli Lütfi.

His career was first shaped in the state theaters. After studying theater at Bilkent he gave his first professional performance at the Ankara Art Theatre, then worked at the Diyarbakır and Erzurum State Theatres and directed plays alongside acting. When he moved to Istanbul in 2008 he performed at Tiyatro Dot, BKM and the City Theatres; his four-character performance in İntiharın Genel Provası earned an Afife Theatre Awards nomination. On television he established himself with Bizim Evin Halleri, Hatırla Sevgili, Benim Annem Bir Melek, Ezel and Yol Arkadaşım, and in Veda he played Salih Bozok. Kış Uykusu brought him a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the SİYAD awards.

In later years he played Çolak in Söz, Köse Mihal in Kuruluş: Osman, Necati Türel in Maraşlı and Feyyaz in Kirli Sepeti. He taught at Atatürk University and in 2014 founded an acting school bearing his name.

Their work through different eyes

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

Serhat Kılıç reached a wide audience as Ergun in Seksenler, but his most distinctive film role is Imam Hamdi in Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Kış Uykusu. The distance between them is, in my view, the interesting part of his career: in a neighborhood sitcom that ran ten seasons a character is built over the years through habit, while in Ceylan's film a single figure has to leave a mark in limited screen time. The pair shows an actor with a stage discipline using both scales.

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

Serhat Kılıç's work keeps looking at recent Turkish history through a home or a neighborhood. Seksenler shows the social change of the 1980s through the daily life of a neighborhood and several families; Hatırla Sevgili follows the political turbulence from the late 1950s to 1980 through two families. With these two productions Kılıç belongs to a television tradition that scales big events down to the family conversation; in my view that is where the social value of his work comes from.
