Güven Murat Akpınar — Biography

Güven Murat Akpınar is an actor who works between the theater stage and television, best known for playing Osman Boran in İstanbullu Gelin. In 2026 he plays Prof. Dr. Ilgaz Şahin in the NOW TV series Doktor: Başka Hayatta.

Born in Ardahan, he moved to Istanbul with his family as a child. He studied in the Theatre Department of the Istanbul University State Conservatory and, besides acting on stage, worked as an assistant director. His screen career began in 2011 with Bizim Yenge. He played Iska in Suskunlar, Sarı Menderes in the Kanal D series Boynu Bükükler (2014) and Mestan in the Show TV series İstanbul Sokakları (2016); in the last two he was a supporting actor.

He reached his widest audience with İstanbullu Gelin on Star TV (2017-2019): for three seasons he played Osman Boran, the only engineer in the Boran family and its level-headed, balanced member, and the 87-episode series was nominated for Best Telenovela at the International Emmy Awards in 2018. He then appeared in Ayak İşleri and in Show TV's Aziz (2021-2022). For his stage work he won Young Generation Artist of the Year at the 18th Afife Theatre Awards in 2014, and the same year he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 2nd Yeni Tiyatro Dergisi Emek ve Başarı Awards.

Their work through different eyes

AI-assisted editorial takes on this person's screen work, written from different viewer perspectives. They are not reader comments; those are below.

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

Güven Murat Akpınar's specialty on screen is the level-headed man in the middle of chaos. In İstanbullu Gelin, Osman Boran is the sensible, balanced brother in the tense, tradition-bound Boran house Süreyya marries into; in a big family drama he is the voice that brings the temperature down, one of the places where the series breathes. He turns the same type into comedy in Ayak İşleri: against Çağlar Çorumlu's Vedat, who does as he is told without question, Evren, who studied philosophy and questions every step, is half of the contrast that carries the pair's humor. Start with İstanbullu Gelin, then the lead he shares in Ayak İşleri; together they show what this type gives in drama and in comedy.

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

Güven Murat Akpınar's two most distinctive roles look at the place of the educated young man today from two different angles. Osman Boran in İstanbullu Gelin is the only engineer in a tradition-bound family; his degree makes him the one the household turns to for advice but is not enough to change the family's hierarchy. Evren in Ayak İşleri studied philosophy yet spends his days running errands for a wealthy businessman. The first dissolves education into a family's traditional order, while the second turns a generation whose degrees find no return into comedy; spanning the late 2010s to the 2020s, the two roles measure the gap between educated youth's expectations of status and where they actually stand.
