Çetin Altay

Çetin Altay was born in Istanbul on July 26, 1977. The artist, originally from Surmene, started his career on the theater stage. Altay, who made a name for himself with his one-man shows, soon established a theater group and performed improvised plays. During this period, he took part in various projects both on stage and in the field of writing.

His transition into the media world took a very different route. After working as a screenwriter for Leman magazine, he prepared satirical videos on internet platforms such as Mynet. These works enabled him to create remarkable works in the virtual environment. Then, he starred in a well-known commercial and received a TV series offer from director Mustafa Altıoklar with this performance.

Thus, he became known to the masses with his unforgettable character of İdris Fındıkoğlu in "My Commander My Order".

Altay, who took on various roles in cinema and television, strengthened his name with his performance in the TV series "Emret Commander", which was broadcast between 2005 and 2007. The artist, who had the opportunity to work with master actors over the years, took part in the movie "Ali Baba ve 7 Dwarfs", written, directed and starring Cem Yılmaz in 2015.
