A career across borders

Numan Acar is a Turkish-German actor and producer born in Kozoğlu, Turkey, on 7 October 1974. His screen career spans productions in several countries and languages.

After moving to Germany as a child, Acar studied civil engineering before pursuing acting. He worked in German and Turkish films and also developed work as a producer.

Acar gained international attention as Haissam Haqqani in the fourth season of Homeland. He later appeared as Abu Ramal in Prison Break, adding another television role to a career that continued across borders.

His film credits include The Great Wall and In the Fade. In Disney’s live-action Aladdin (2019), he played Hakim, captain of the palace guards; the same year he appeared as Dimitri in Spider-Man: Far From Home.
