There is an impressive story of the Ateş Kuşları (Firebirds) series, which was broadcast on ATV screens on Friday evenings, and the first two episodes achieved great success by reaching 8 ratings in the category of all people. Starring Hande Soral, İlayda Alişan, Görkem Sevindik and Burak Tozkoparan, the series also has a large cast.
There are such characters in the story of the series that the audience either welcomes them or hates them for their evil. As in every story, the Ateş Kuşları series also has a villain. Serkan Ercan is also at the key point of the story with the Menderes character in the Ateş Kuşları series.
The experienced actor has had great experiences with very different roles in both movies and TV series since the late 1990s. Now, the actor, who plays one of the key characters of the Ateş Kuşları series, stands out as one of the gripping names of the story, although he takes a side role.
The fact that it was her uncle who separated Lara from her family was shown to the audience without further ado. For many people, this is described as a flip-flop situation. So what was the reason behind Menderes doing this evil to his nephew? The audience is very curious about this point in the story.
For Serkan Ercan, it seems that he has no resemblance to the character, except for empathizing with him in order to portray the character of Menderes.
Menderes, who is the brother of Nizam’s character played by Nizam Namidar, is also Hüma’s father.
Menderes is a smart person, but he is someone who uses his intelligence in bad ways. Serkan Ercan spoke as follows about Menderes Eyüboğlu, whom he portrayed in the series:
“Menderes is extremely smart and intelligent, but he uses his intelligence in the opposite direction. A character who uses his intelligence to hurt people. The only thing I have in common with Menderes is that our shoe size is the same.”
Serkan Ercan’s joke about shoe size was also meaningful. Although there is no possibility of identifying with the Menderes character in any way, the experienced actor gives a very successful performance.
