Tansu Biçer — Biography

Tansu Biçer was born on July 4, 1978, in Ankara; after Karşıyaka Şemikler High School in İzmir, he graduated from the Theatre Department of Eskişehir Anadolu University's State Conservatory in 2001 and performed that same season with Tiyatro Anadolu. He moved to Istanbul in 2002, helped found the Semaver Kumpanya theater company, and became one of its best-known actors, appearing in nearly twenty of its productions, including adaptations of Shakespeare, Brecht and Max Frisch.

A frequent collaborator of director Onur Ünlü, Biçer appeared in his films Güneşin Oğlu, Beş Şehir, The Extreme Tragic Story of Celal Tan and His Family and İtirazım Var; his performance in Beş Şehir (2009) brought him the Behlül Dal Special Award at the Golden Orange Film Festival and Best Actor at the Istanbul Film Festival, and he later won separate Best Supporting Actor prizes for Küf (2012) and Yozgat Blues (2013), then Best Actor at the Golden Boll Film Festival for Toz Ruhu (2014). After playing Yücel Tansoy in the series Çukur, he left the show in 2020, and went on to appear in Rise of Empires: Ottoman, Midnight at the Pera Palace and Veliaht. In 2026 he co-starred with Özgü Namal in İlker Çatak's Yellow Letters, winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, which also earned the film a German Film Award (Lola) nomination.

Their work through different eyes

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

Tansu Biçer's signature in cinema is Onur Ünlü: Güneşin Oğlu, Celal Tan ve Ailesinin Aşırı Acıklı Hikayesi, İtirazım Var. In Ünlü's absurd-leaning world he turns up each time under a different name. Working with one director this often is, in my view, the real consistency of Biçer's cinema.

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

Tansu Biçer's move into mainstream action series like Çukur and Veliaht is very different ground from Ünlü's comedy. The police type, though, recurs in both worlds: Komiser Asım in İtirazım Var, Başkomiser Kemal in Ufak Tefek Cinayetler. In my view the same type stretching from absurd comedy to thriller is Biçer's most interesting range.
