Kenan Imirzalioglu, the star I didn't know

I just started watching "Karadayi" and now know why he is such a star in Turkey. Kenan has a great screen presence and a naturalness about him that makes him accessible and vulnerable in this role (besides being attractive, handsome and manly :-) which I didn’t understand until just now). I must have been blind.
Not to mention some other cast members who are at the top of acting, the great Cetin Tekindor and Elif Sönmez (whom I am so glad to see in a different role than in “Asi” after such a long time).
Isn’t this young actor right out of drama school, Ulas Tuna Astepe, playing Orhan Kara phenomenal?


And the bad man is as bad as it can get with Yurdaer Okur. This isn't even a spoiler as he is bad from minute one who uses his voice and mimic to perfection in a role that could have easily been just a caricature.
