'''Cem Yılmaz''' (born 23 April 1973 in [[Istanbul]], [[Turkey]]) is a [[Turkish people|Turkish]] stand-up comedian, actor and filmmaker, best known for his films ''[[G.O.R.A.]]'' (2004), ''[[A.R.O.G]]'' (2008) and ''[[Yahşi Batı]]'' (2010), who has won two [[Sadri Alışık]] awards for his roles in ''[[Organize İşler]]'' (2005) and ''[[The Magician (2006 film)|The Magician]]'' (2006). |
|||
==Biography== |
|||
While studying at the Department of Tourism and Hotel Management of [[Boğaziçi University]], he started drawing comics for the [[Turkey|Turkish]] humor magazine ''Leman''. In August 1995 he did his first [[stand-up comedy]] show in "Leman Culture Center" performing with no serious career intentions as a comedian. However, after the positive response of the audience, he continued his show to attract larger crowds in [[Beşiktaş]] Cultural Center where he has appeared in over a thousand stand-up comedy shows since, becoming so popular that tickets have sold for 250[[Turkish lira|TL]] (approx. [[US$]]140). |
|||
His movie career started in 1998 with a co-starring role in the comedy ''[[Everything's Gonna Be Great]]'' (1999), directed by [[Ömer Vargı]], and continued with a role in ''[[Vizontele]]'' (2001), directed by [[Yılmaz Erdoğan]] and [[Ömer Faruk Sorak]]. He achieved his greatest success by starring in and writing big-budget science-fiction parody ''[[G.O.R.A.]]'' (2004), also directed by Ömer Faruk Sorak, which despite spending several years in production because of financial and other technical problems became a [[box-office]] hit and, according to [[Rekin Teksoy]], ''"showed that popular cinema was successful in appealing to wide audiences"''.<ref name="TurkishCinema01">{{cite book |title=Turkish Cinema |last=Teksoy |first=Rekin |authorlink= |coauthors= |year=2008 |publisher=Oğlak Kitap |location=Istanbul |isbn=978-975-329-611-3 |page=102}}</ref> |
|||
He followed this success with a starring role in the comedy ''[[Organize İşler]]'' (2005), also directed by Yılmaz Erdoğan, for which he won Best Supporting Actor at the 11th [[Sadri Alışık]] Awards, and his directorial debut with ''[[The Magician (2006 film)|The Magician]]'' (2006), co-directed by [[Ali Taner Baltacı]], for which he won Best Actor at the 34th [[Brussels International Independent Film Festival]] and 12th [[Sadri Alışık]] Awards. |
|||
He has since repeated his box office success with a sequel to ''G.O.R.A.'' called ''[[A.R.O.G]]'' (2008), also co-directed by Ali Taner Baltacı, and comedy Western parody called ''[[Yahşi Batı]]'' (2010), directed by Ömer Faruk Sorak. That same year, he co-starred, alongside veteran actor Şener Şen, in the police drama ''[[Hunting Season]]'' (2010), written and directed by [[Yavuz Turgul]], and made a special appearance in drama ''[[Zephyr (film)|Zephyr]]'' (2010), written and directed by [[Belma Baş]]. |
