Uraz Kaygılaroğlu — Biography

Uraz Kaygılaroğlu, whose family is from Balıkesir, was born in Istanbul on June 30, 1987; he trained at the Müjdat Gezen Art Center in high school and graduated in advertising from Istanbul Bilgi University. He began acting in 2008 as Berke in Milyonda Bir, broke through in 2011 as Canburger in Pis Yedili, and also appeared as Feminen Ağa in Harem. After Eski Hikaye (as Ömer) and Yedi Güzel Adam (as poet Adil Erdem Bayazıt), he became a breakout star as Haluk Güney in Baba Candır (2015-2017). He went on to appear in Klavye Delikanlıları, Sefirin Kızı, Üç Kuruş, Sakla Beni, the comedy Erşan Kuneri, and films such as Dönerse Senindir, Çakallarla Dans 5 and Karakomik Filmler; his lead role opposite Merve Dizdar in Eltilerin Savaşı (2020) ranked as Turkish cinema's 23rd most-watched film as of 2023. He also hosted game shows, performs stand-up, and partnered in the Snob Street Food chain in 2017.

He married actress Melis İşiten in June 2014, had a daughter in 2016, and the two divorced in July 2019. In February 2026 he drew wide coverage after MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli phoned to congratulate him on his Yeraltı role as Bozkurt Hanoğlu (Bozo), which also brought sharp criticism from actor Mehmet Aslantuğ.

Their work through different eyes

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

Baba Candır is the sensible way into Uraz Kaygılaroğlu: Haluk Güney is the part that took him to a wide audience, in a family-comedy mold. Pis Yedili shows where he came from in comedy. For a look beyond comedy there is Ömer in Eski Hikaye, a TRT 1 drama built around a revenge story.

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

Uraz Kaygılaroğlu's film side is, in my view, less varied than his television work. Dönerse Senindir is a romantic comedy about winning a girlfriend back, Eltilerin Savaşı a comedy built on two sisters-in-law's rivalry, and Sen Kiminle Dans Ediyorsun? a comedy gathering well-known names; all three run on a similar template. The dark-humoured tone of Karakomik Filmler is a step outside that mold.

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

Though Uraz Kaygılaroğlu is known for comedy, in Üç Kuruş he plays Kartal, the neighborhood protector forced into a partnership with a commissioner over a serial killer. Ayak İşleri is a series mixing comedy and action, and Ejder Kapanı is a full action thriller, in which he appears as a reporter.
