Cagatay Ulusoy, born in Istanbul in 1990, is one of the most exported Turkish actors of his generation. He broke through in the youth drama Adini Feriha Koydum (2011), then confirmed his lead status in the coming-of-age serial Medcezir (2013) and the historical thriller Icerde (2016). Netflix put him in front of a global audience with the Ottoman crime saga The Protector (2018) and the sprawling period drama The Tailor (2023), where he anchored both platforms as a bankable leading man. Before acting he worked as a model, and that background feeds a screen presence built on stillness and slow-burning heat.
