Childhood years: He decided to become an actor as a child. “I decided to become an actor when I started doing a Mother’s Day show in the neighborhood at the age of eight or nine. I would wear my circumcision and be a presenter. The girls in the neighborhood would form a dance group, study choreography, and dance with the tape playing. Poems were sung and songs were sung, all of which I organized as the presenter. That’s when I got the cure.”
Education: He completed his education at Beykent University, Department of Acting and Anadolu University, Department of Sociology. He did his Master’s in Cinema and TV. At the same time, he took acting lessons at Akademi 35 and a half Art House.
The turning point of his life: He started his acting career with the act “Bir Tavsiye Mektubu” translated by Cahit Okurer, written by Ephraim Kishon during his primary school years. Later, while continuing my high school education, he also studied theater for 2 years at Kadıköy Public Education Center. He sees his first feature film experience, “Nefes: Thanks to the Fatherland” as a turning point in his career. “My Public Education adventure came to an end with high school. I applied for the advertisement consultancy in Odakule, which I saw in the newspaper. Just when I was accepted and set out to go to work, I was called by the crew of the film “Nefes”, which I had gone to for a test shoot, and I took the first step in my professional acting career. So I started earning my first money from acting. After the movie, I decided to study acting and entered the acting department of Beykent University. When I look back, I see that I fit many projects into my career.”
The first step into acting: He started his television adventure in 2009 with the character of “Müstecap”, which he portrayed in the TV series “Kapalı Çarşı”.
Which project did it shine with? He attracted attention with his character “Aşık Mansur Yüksel” in the TV series “Söz”.
Personality traits: He lists the most dominant traits that determine his character as follows; “I have a hardworking, honest and friendly production. One thing I can change is that I am not frugal with money.”
Social: In his spare time from his busy work schedule, when he wants to be alone with himself, he usually goes to a beach and lights a fire. “It calms me down tremendously. I also love taking pictures, I do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We also have a music group that hasn’t given a concert yet, so I play the bass guitar for it.”
His view of love: “Love is at the center of my life in one way or another. I really don’t have a definition like “I’m looking for these features” in a woman. Those things are never clear.”
First feature film: Levent Semerci/ Nefes: Thanks to the Homeland
Perspective on business life: When accepting a project, he looks at the whole project. “What makes the project good is the elaboration of the story and the characters. There is a very good character, but the project is bad then there is no point in choosing it. No matter which movie of Nuri Bilge Ceylan you open and watch, even the least visible character has a great contribution to the whole. The relationship of a character with the whole is one of the most important elements that attract me. On the other hand, I still have not solved my profession. When I see myself on the screen, I still watch with the same excitement and curiosity as on the first day.”
Concerns: Our age finds it worrying that human relations are based on interests. “Today’s relations are based on some interests. Consumption is very centralized. A little like our mukhtars; When they enter the school to vote, they all say a big welcome with a paper with their names, they don’t say goodbye when they leave. This situation is the same in the most intellectual and the rudest. Nothing has changed.”
Does he follow fashion? His style can also vary a lot according to his emotional world. “The comments I get in general are that it is highly appreciated. I try to express what I feel with originality. Sometimes I like to be a stylish young businessman, and sometimes I like to dress like an Italian punk. They both walk on the same street.”
