Rıza Kocaoğlu is a name that has proven himself with his acting talent in Turkey. Rıza Kocaoğlu, who carried the boundaries of his acting to a further point with the character of Aliço in the Çukur (The Pit) series, has become one of the Turkish actors whose name has started to be talked about abroad recently.
One of the most important reasons for this is the character of Fikret, which he plays in the TV series Zeytin Ağacı (Olive Tree). Fikret was perhaps the most featured character in the Zeytin Ağacı series, which was broadcast abroad under the name Another Self. Because, in terms of naturalness and realism, this character has the feature of representing the Anatolian people more than the other characters in the series.
Despite all the bad things life has done to him, Fikret remains a good person and is a special man in himself, even though he doesn’t attract much attention. He could not find the love he was looking for for many years, because no one felt him like the man he would fall in love with. Until the character Sevgi, played by Boncuk Yılmaz, discovered her soul and the beauties within, Fikret had not experienced the love side of life.
Rıza Kocaoğlu’s greatest achievement is that he portrayed a person who seems faint in society, who people do not pay much attention to, but who has many beauty and goodness in him. There is a situation that puts the Anatolian reality in the face of Nuran Evren Şit’s creation of the character of Fikret.
There is sincerity in this character, there is realism, there is mediocrity, and most importantly, there are millions of examples. Here, Rıza Kocaoğlu did justice to his role in the Zeytin Ağacı series, which seems ordinary, but as a representative of these people, in particular.
Rıza Kocaoğlu also demonstrates this with a magnificent talent and represents these simple but special people with millions of examples.
After the character of Fikret, nothing will be the same for the actor. Because now, we can see from the social media posts that an audience is forming abroad that has started to watch it privately.
It was also the subject of the news that the actor agreed for the Tuzak (Trap) series, which will be broadcast on the tv8 screen in the new season. Tuzak series, in which scriptwriter Eylem Canpolat, who left the Aziz TV series, wrote her story, became one of the projects that were eagerly awaited abroad due to Akın Akınözü’s leading role in the new period.
The actors of the Tuzak series also attract the attention of the fans of the foreign series, and Rıza Kocaoğlu, with the character of Güven, is awaited with great curiosity by those who follow him abroad.
