Sermet Yeşil — Biography

Stage and screen stay in balance in the career of Sermet Yeşil, a Turkish actor: he has long been in the company of the Eskişehir City Theatres while appearing on television in series such as Çukur, Payitaht Abdülhamid and Yargı, and in cinema as Beko in Tavşan İmparatorluğu. That film won the best film award at the 62nd Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival.

He trained in the theater first: he graduated from the Hacettepe University Ankara State Conservatory, took a master's degree at Anadolu University, worked at the Ankara State Theatre, Ankara Sanat Tiyatrosu and Tiyatro Anadolu, and has played in Eskişehir since 2005. His screen work began with the apprentice role in Kaç Para Kaç. His first major film part was the title character of Kosmos. Around 2010 he played Artun in Gişe Memuru and Ahmet in Behzat Ç. Bir Ankara Polisiyesi, followed by Leyla ile Mecnun, Mor Menekşeler and Şubat. He appeared as Cengiz Timuçin in Eski Hikaye, Sarı Cemal in Karadayı and Ahmet in Gülümse Yeter.

Joining Çukur in 2018, then playing Zalman David Levotin in Payitaht Abdülhamid and the police chief Kubilay Amir in Yargı in 2024, brought him to a wider audience. His film credits also include Dert Bende and Hiçbiryerde, and he has worked as a lecturer at Yeditepe University.

Their work through different eyes

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

The most interesting thing about Sermet Yeşil in cinema is how often he works with directors who have a clear signature: the apprentice in Reha Erdem's Kaç Para Kaç, then the title character of Kosmos. Tayfun Pirselimoğlu's first film Hiçbiryerde and Tolga Karaçelik's Gişe Memuru sit on the same line. In my view these films say more about him than the crowded television productions do.

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

Sermet Yeşil's television splits into two lines. Çukur, Payitaht Abdülhamid and Yargı are the familiar world of big-channel productions; the Joker in Leyla ile Mecnun is a completely different tone inside Onur Ünlü's absurdist comedy. In my view the second line is the bolder choice, and it shows the side of Yeşil's series work you would least expect.
