Erdem Şanlı, who was born in 1996, is among the young actors we have been seeing on the sets since 2018. The actor, who attracted attention in TV series such as Vatanım Sensin, Avlu, Eşkıya Dünyaya Hükümdar Olmaz and Yasak Elma, is now taking part in the Ateş Kuşları (Firebirds) series project with the character of Zıpkın.
The actor, who also took part in various roles in projects such as Son Yaz, Kırmızı Oda, Aşk Mantık İntikam and İçimizdeki Ateş , could not show himself well enough because he usually had short-term jobs. It was an opportunity for Erdem Şanlı that the Ateş Kuşları series was a stable project at this point and that the character of Zıpkın had an important position in the story of the series.
In the series of Ateş Kuşları, you are actually watching the drama of many people we see on the street without even realizing it. The ATV series has an important mission in terms of being a project that draws attention to the great drama experienced by street children.
Erdem Şanlı also drew attention to this situation in his statement. The actor said, “We have friends who really live on the street watching this series. When you see their reaction, their approach to you changes. People are afraid of those people. They cannot greet, they cannot approach, they are generally prejudiced. But they are very nice people and they need help. When you see them on the screen, you meet their smiling faces.”
Erdem Şanlı, who also tells that some street children he met on the street talked to him, “It is good that you are doing such a job,” seems very pleased to be involved in such an impressive story.
Mentioning that people should try to understand street children, the actor mentioned that their lives can be touched more.
Erdem Şanlı said, “When you sit in front of him and rest for five minutes, you can understand his life if you are a little human. But experiencing it, it allowed us to get into them even more.”
