Kemal Sunal İngilizce Biyografi
English biography of Kemal Sunal
Date of Birth
11 November 1944, Kucukpazar, Istanbul, Turkey
Date of Death
3 July 2000, Istanbul, Turkey (heart attack)
Birth Name : Ali Kemal Sunal
Nickname : Şaban Davaro
Height : 6′ 2″ (188 m)
Born in 1944 Istanbul, Turkey Graduated from Vefa High School, Fatih, Istanbul
Early life
Kemal Sunal graduated from Vefa Lisesi (Vefa High School) In his early ages he started pursuing what was to become a long and successful acting career in minor roles in theatres For a brief period he worked in the Kenterler Theatre and took part in his first play Zoraki Takip He was later transferred to the Devekuşu Kabare Theatre where he performed his acting
Career
By 1973 he was recognized as a true talent and started receiving offers for films with larger budgets and more famous casts His first film was Tatlı Dillim by Ertem Eğilmez In a matter of years Sunal was costarring with other actors from the old school such as Halit Akcatepe Şener Şen and Munir Ozkul
Perhaps the most famous of all his parts was İnek Şaban The simpleminded artless and innocent member of Hababam Sınıfı (The Outrageous Class) was a good laugh for many İnek Şaban was constantly bullied and humiliated by his friends but this never kept him from thinking the unthinkable like digging a tunnel to escape school grounds (which later turned out to lead to the viceprincipals office) or smoking in the school attic The character was so pure and so fixed in the memories of the Turkish people it was never replaced by another actor in the recent reshootings of Hababam Sinifi most probably as a sign of respect to Sunal
His other notable characters include: Tosun Pasha a fake pasha; Sut Kardeş Şaban a dumb sailor; Copculer Kralı a foolish garbage man who fell in love with a municipality officers fiancee; Doktor Civanım a former hospital janitor pretending to be a doctor upon his return to his home village; and finally Orta Direk Şabana naive man trying to become an athlete to impress his crush
Apart from the hilariousness of his movies one of the reasons that they were so popular were because they addressed many of the problems faced by the urban poor in Turkey during the 1970s and 1980s In almost all of his films Kemal Sunal plays a poor man trying to make something of himself
Sunals last film was Propaganda which was directed by director Sinan Cetin Sunal played a customs officerincharge (presumably) on the Syrian border Being a drama this film was a contrast to his other works As the plot unfolded Sunals character fell into despair trying to survive the dilemma between his duties as an officer of the law and his duties as a friend In public opinion this film was not the best of jubilees for the master In fact it had not been meant to be a jubilee at all Another significant fact about this film is that it also included Ali Sunal Kemal Sunals son cast as a junior customs officer
