Engin Akyürek was one of the most influential names in the spread of Turkish television series to the world. Born in Ankara in 1981, the actor did not think that he would become a name known to the whole world when he started his first series adventure.
Engin Akyürek, who has been in front of the cameras since 2004 with the role of Kadir in the TV series Yabancı Damat (Foreign Groom), was recognized by the masses with the TV series Fatmagül’ün Suçu Ne (What’s Fatmagül’s Crime). After this project was sold to many countries of the world, Engin Akyürek craze began.
Even the fact that his fans from all over the world came to the book signing of his book Zamansız (Timeless) can be considered as a reflection of how much attention the actor received. It is no longer surprising that Engin Akyürek is frequently on the agenda in the social media environment and that the same situation is experienced in different countries.
The actress, who was also very popular as the Ömer of the Kara Para Aşk (Black Money Love) TV series and increased her popularity with the spread of this series around the world, managed to make a name for herself again with the Sefirin Kızı (The Ambassardor’s Daughter) project. The actor, who is now on the sets with the Fox TV series named Adım Farah (My name is Farah), expressed his interest in Turkish series abroad with the following words:
“It is a very happy thing. In the process that I am also in, Turkish TV series have had success all over the world for 15 years. This is truly an achievement that deserves to be talked about and that needs to be told. This is important. Of course we didn’t calculate it, it happened naturally and in its reality. While we were making TV series, we didn’t do these things in order to sell them to the world and to be watched in the world. But then it developed in its own process. He developed these Turkish serials. Better quality, bigger works started to be done. Me as an actor, of course, is valuable.”
There are also warnings from Engin Akyürek, who stated that Turkish television series are now much better quality and different, that the process of spreading to the world continues and that this is a success.
After achieving this success, the most important thing to do is to continue this process. Engin Akyürek did not neglect to give warnings at this point.
The actor said, “It’s a very precious thing. People from different parts of the world come here. It is a completely organic relationship, in fact, I hope it is very valuable to be able to continue it. The value, quality and quantity of the work we will do is much more important from now on,” he said.
