Ali Poyrazoğlu (born 9 July 1946) is a Turkish movie and theatre actor, writer, voice artist and director. He has been a UNICEF Turkey Goodwill Ambassador since November 2012. He began his career in cinema in 1970. However, in the mid-1970s, he joined the wave of sex films that left their mark on Turkish cinema. During this period, he starred in numerous films within just two years. However, he later distanced himself completely from Yeşilçam. After a long hiatus, he returned to cinema in 1986 with the film Asiye Nasıl Kurtulur. In this comedy film, which was quite talked about at the time, he shared the lead role with Mazhar Alanson and played the role of the Devil.
