Pets: He has a dog.
Childhood years: His mother asked his to study at the conservatory, but he chose mathematics. “My mother is about art. Even in high school, my mother wanted to send me to the conservatory, but I didn’t. Then I wanted math. The idea of practicing math on stage was very attractive. ”
Education life: Los Angeles General Studies completed his education in UC Berkeley Applied Math and studied acting.
How did he become an actor? “Learning mathematics means learning universal language for me. The reason I chose the Department of Mathematics at the university was to learn this universal language, and for this I went to UC-Berkeley, one of the best universities in the world. As my mathematical understanding grew, I realized that this language had application areas everywhere. I chose acting as my practice, because I am more excited about problems with people, emotions, and storytelling. ”
First step into acting: He started his television adventure by giving life to the character of ‘Gaffur’ in the movie ‘Azrail’ shot in 2014.
Which project did it shine with? It drew attention with the character ‘Miran’, which it portrayed in the series ‘Hercai’.
Personal development: He studied acting for nearly a year at Craft Workshop.
Social: He sports in his spare time. He goes to fitness, tries to devote time to reading, loves to spend time with his family and friends.
Mindset: He thinks that six years of living in America makes him a stronger person. “I went to America for my university education. First of all, I think that going to the other end of the world at the age of 17 and living there alone made me a stronger individual. At the same time, living six years in a different culture teaches you to look at life differently; most importantly, you understand that people from different cultures can unite on the same denominator. This is where you get a visa to become a citizen of the world, and I think we all need it. ”
How is someone on the set? He approaches the script like a detective, asks as many questions as he can ask, and the character begins to develop spontaneously when looking for answers. “As you gain experience, the quality of the questions you ask increases, you learn to ask better questions, and in the light of these questions, you start making more creative choices about the character. As I get to know my own instrument; I discovered that listening to music is very effective for me to understand and make sense of the character’s feeling on the stage. ”
First feature film: Zvonimir Juric / Azrael
Definition of love: Believes that it is necessary to fight for love. “Nowadays, love seems to be a bit artificial, along with the developing technology, our speed of life and our options have increased a lot. This situation has made us individuals who consume everything very quickly. Unfortunately, we lose our values, such as patience, loyalty and sacrifice, which add meaning to the relationship. Relations that do not have these values cannot have a depth and they have no choice but to be artificial. As a single child, we have had a strong relationship with my mother since I was little, and therefore I can empathize with women more easily. When I combine this empathy with the motive of “making people around me happy”, I think I have a gentle and romantic male profile. ”
His outlook on life: He believes that everything he does in life is a measure of success in the field, but that he can make permanent production in this way. “The rating, the number of followers, or the reactions you take on the street? The most valid measure of success for me is my performance in the field. Here the person confronts himself, sees his deficiencies and works to improve them. I apply this formula in all areas of my life and thank God I was able to achieve all the goals I have set up to date. I believe that the rating, the number of followers or the priority we will give to the street reactions will lead to confusion in success criteria and I believe that it will prevent us from catching the essence of the business. Of course, these things have a place, but where we give priority is very important. The priority we will give to the field performance will bring the others permanently in the end, but the priority given to others will only put us in a vicious circle of illusions. ”
Business life view: “As an actor, you have to adapt to different conditions and I feel more fluid in this sense day by day. I also believe the validity of the word “It is not the strongest or the smartest surviving among species, it is the easiest to adapt to change”, which is attributed to Darwin, so I am very pleased with this path. ”
Career plan: Its purpose is to accumulate experience. “I’m not looking for satisfaction. I do not expect satisfaction from acting. What I’m looking for is experience. Acting is a craftsmanship. My goal is to master this craftsmanship. It should be both on this path. Image and talent are not separate from each other. ”
Future Dream : His performance in the series ‘Hercai’ made his feet firmly on the ground. “I entered a period when I started walking on my feet, but I will learn to run more, then maybe I will also learn to fly someday, after all,” the future is in the skies. ”
The charm criterion in women: Sometimes a smile, sometimes a word can be influenced by a look.
The biggest craze? He decided to be an actor in his last year while studying applied mathematics at one of the best universities in the world with a good academic average.
His view of social media? He has a distant attitude towards social media and takes care to protect it. “It is both very useful and very dangerous for the work we do. It is useful because social media brings you together with your followers, so you can hear their voice and make your own voice heard. On the other hand, it is dangerous because the volume of this interaction grows especially when you do something in mind and when you take it to catch up, it starts to hurt your main business. I tried to read the comments as much as I could, and I work because I believe that these comments guide us so that we can ensure the work we do.
