Pets: He has three dogs.
Family: His father is a teacher, and he has three older sisters. He is very devoted to his family. “The person who makes me laugh the most is my mother; she has a natural sense of humor. She is incredibly fond of me; you could strip my mom naked in the middle of Taksim, and she would say, ‘as long as my son isn’t cold.’ My father used to be more distant, thinking ‘let my son grow up on his own, stand on his own two feet,’ but now he’s become just like my mother. My father holds a very important place in my life. In the middle of the compass tattoo on my back is my father’s signature.”
Childhood Years: He has been on a constant search since childhood. Due to his father’s profession, he traveled to many cities and changed schools four times in five years. “But we always returned to Ankara, as all our relatives were there. After finishing high school, I stayed in Ankara, and my entire circle of friends was there until I came to Istanbul four or five years ago. As the youngest and only son in the family, I had a somewhat messy and spoiled life. I grew up with three older sisters, the youngest of whom is five years older than me, so I grew up with three flowers. Now, they are like my little sisters, but back then, all their attention was on me. I rarely stayed home; I would get tired of their fussing and run away. Actually, for as long as I can remember, I have been on a quest; although I didn’t realize it at the time, I was always chasing after music, painting, or something else; I was searching for myself.”
Education: He graduated from the Hacettepe University Ankara State Conservatory, Theater Department.
Turning Point in His Life: He had no intention of becoming an actor. “It happened by chance… Someone came up to me and said, ‘I’m going to prepare you for the conservatory exams,’ and I got into the Hacettepe University Theater Department. Later, in my second year, I froze my studies and found myself in Istanbul. The offer for Bodrum Masalı (Bodrum Tale) came the day my previous project, Acı Aşk (Bitter Love), ended. A day later, I started rehearsals. Because of this, I had a very short and fast preparation period. The entire series crew was complete, but the character ‘Ateş’ was missing; they had already completed their preliminary work when I joined.”
First Step into Acting: He began his acting career with the series Tatlı Küçük Yalancılar (Pretty Little Liars).
Breakthrough Project: He drew attention with his portrayal of the character ‘Ali Köklükaya’ in the series Acı Aşk (Bitter Love).
Personality Traits: Calm, easy-going, sincere, perfectionist, jealous, open to new things.
Social Life: His favorite sport is billiards.
Mindset: He believes there is no such thing as a good or bad role. “The character you play doesn’t make you good or bad. Whatever I play, I first need to love the character. Even if it’s a ‘bad’ character, it’s still a human being, and being able to see things from their perspective is very important. This is what made me love acting.”
What is he like on set? The more the set feels like home, the more comfortable he feels. “When I’m shooting a scene with a character, I need to add a subtext to that character. What is my perspective on that character, what are their positive aspects, or what are my negative feelings… I want to think more about these things, to write and draw more about them. In my free time, the only thing I do is work on the next scene. And listen to music while doing so. Because I’m nothing without my headphones!”
Source of Happiness: Having acted alongside master actors like Erkan Can and Hüseyin Avni Danyal.
First Feature Film: Selahattin Sancaklı’s Direniş Karatay (Resistance Karatay).
Person He Admires: His favorite actress is Charlize Theron.
Definition of Love: “I guess love is when something not under your control touches you at a moment when you need it most. It’s a state of needing someone with all that you are, of surrendering… It’s a matter of timing related to coincidences… I don’t think love is transient. Maybe you postpone it, maybe you suppress it, but true love is permanent… It might get mixed up, but it remains… And I’m in favor of it remaining; if it doesn’t, why are we living? Why is there such a thing as time, why is there a past, why a future, why the present moment? If it’s something that will pass, then loving has no meaning.”
Outlook on Life: The thing he values most in another person is sincerity. All his relationships—love, friendship, work—are built on sincerity. If there is no sincerity, everything ends. “The number of my friends doesn’t exceed the fingers of one hand. After you begin a search, your awareness increases, you start to wake up. I’ve moved past those who harm me; I even stay away from people who don’t add anything positive to my life. What do they add to me, what do they take from me… These things are important. In friendships, I can open parentheses if necessary; I can use my logic. Only in love, it doesn’t work… When you feel something emotionally, it’s not really possible to stay away. Logic gets disabled. In love, my only expectation from the other person is reality and sincerity. Because something that is real cannot harm you. My life motto is first love, then respect! When you love first, you harm neither yourself nor others; I have personally tasted, seen, tried, and lived this.”
Perspective on His Work: He believes that every actor, everyone involved in art, must have a cause. “On this path, we must be doing something that can be beneficial to people. This could be music, painting, a play, a movie… What an artist should do is use these channels to open people’s perceptions. To make them say, ‘So that’s how it is,’ to create awareness. That’s what art is for!”
Career Plan: He is currently trying to get to know himself. “I will probably still be working on this when I’m 50. In acting, there is always better. The important thing is to know my limits and be able to develop them.”
Future Dream: He definitely wants to spend a year in Alaska one day.
Role Model: He doesn’t have a single role model, but there are behaviors and impulses he takes as examples. “I gather ideas that help me weigh things in my mind or life scenarios that inspire me from different people, as much as I need, when I need them. I want to remain more subjective and unique to myself; but of course, in the flow of life, I unknowingly take things from some and give things to others. I like this mutual state of giving and receiving. The most important thing is communication; communication is a universal language; it has no race, gender, or physical characteristics. But my thoughts on having a role model are clear: Don’t be anything, be yourself!”
Who does he admire? He admires Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ. “When Kıvanç and I first met, I told him, ‘You make a person feel so good.’ I had always wondered what it would be like to act opposite him, and I am very happy to have had this chance. He always supported me, gave me space, and shed light on my discovery of new things. He is like a real older brother… He is someone who says, ‘Here you go, my brother, you play too,’ an actor who makes room for others; that is what I feel the most loyalty towards. He is also a Scorpio, we have many similarities. He is a person I will never forget for the rest of my life.”
Criteria for Attraction in a Woman: It is very important that the person he is with is proud. “She must be committed to her beliefs and should not be persuaded to give them up, she should not change, she should be consistent. Whatever she is; she must be real! Other than that, she can be blonde, she can be brunette; whatever she is, she should be a real person.”
Relationship with Nature: He is a nature lover and recharges by running or cycling. “Seeing trees, seeing green, relaxes me a lot.”
What does he do at home? He also loves the home and family environment. “At home, I am constantly active; one moment they see me at the drums; I get up from there and go to the piano, then I get up from the piano and start playing PlayStation. I read books, I play with my dogs. I have three dogs, and all three of them want me to play with them the most, to love them the most. They are always by my side, like my shadows; wherever I go, they go. I’m not really someone who likes to go out much, I’m a homebody.”
What is your favorite corner at home? The place where his bookshelf is. “That place is full of memories and experiences. Second-hand books, gifted books, books I gifted that were not accepted.”
In which city would he like to live?: “Urla or Bodrum… Also, around Salda Lake, for example, Fethiye could be an option. Abroad, I am most curious about Norway, I always watch it in documentaries. Those northern lights are something else… For example, I’d like to have a tiny wooden house there in the middle of nature, with a fireplace inside, I could live there for years.”

How is someone on the set? The more home the set is, the more comfortable he feels. “When I take a scene with a character, I have to put sub-text on that character.

Definition of love: “Love, when you need it a lot, I guess something that is not under your control comes into contact with you. The need for someone with everything, the surrender … A timing issue related to equivalent arrivals … I do not think that love is temporary. Maybe you postpone it, maybe you push it, but true love is permanent … It mixes; but it remains … Which I am supposed to stay with; If not, why are we living? Why is there a time, why is the past, why is the future, why is there now? If there is something to pass, then it makes no sense to love it. ”

If there is no sincerity, everything is over. “The number of my friends does not exceed the fingers of one hand. After you go on a quest, your awareness increases, you start to wake up. I have overcome those who have harmed me, and I stay away from people who do not add anything positive. What does it add to me, what does it take from me … These are important. I can open parentheses if necessary in friendships; I can engage my logic. It doesn’t just happen in love … It is not possible to stay away when you feel something emotionally. Logic is disabled. In love, my only expectation is reality and sincerity. Because the real thing doesn’t hurt. Life mottom love first, then respect! First, you are harming neither yourself nor anyone else in love; I tasted it, I saw it, I tried it, I lived it. ”
Business perspective: He believes that every actor should have a problem for everyone involved in art. “On this way. We must be doing anything that could benefit people. This can be music, painting, theater play, cinema movie… The artist has to do by opening these people’s perceptions by using these channels. To say “this is it”, to create awareness. Art is there for that! ”
Career plan: Currently trying to get to know himself. “I will probably still try to do this when I am 50 years old. He always gets better at acting. The important thing is to know and improve my limits. ”
