Zeynep Oymak

Zeynep Oymak, born on August 28, 1991, in Norfolk, Virginia, is this vibrant force in the Turkish acting scene—though, funny enough, she’s American-born. She’s probably best recognized for her roles in “Sevmek Zamani,” “Love at 39 Degrees,” and “4N1K,” but her journey’s got way more flavor than just a tidy list of credits. Honestly, Zeynep’s career is a bit of a ride. She started out with some modeling gigs, but acting always had her heart. Once she landed in Istanbul, she dived straight into theater, learning the ropes, sweating it out on small stages—far from the gloss of TV. She’s got that thing where she slips into characters so smoothly, you forget you’re watching someone act. Kind of wild, right? Her breakout came with “4N1K” back in 2017, which blew up with the teen crowd. Suddenly, Zeynep went from being a theater kid to someone you’d see trending on Turkish Twitter. She’s not afraid to pick roles that are a bit messy or complicated either. In “Sevmek Zamani,” she plays with vulnerability and strength, tossing in these little quirks that make her stand out. “Love at 39 Degrees” just cranked things up another notch—she brought this whole new layer to her character, balancing drama and humor in a way that actually felt, I dunno, real. She’s got this energy—half American, half Turkish, all her own. Zeynep’s not just another pretty face on the screen; she’s got grit, range, and a knack for making you root for her characters, even when they’re a hot mess. And, honestly, that’s what keeps people coming back to watch whatever she does next.
