Family: Originally from Trabzon Maçkalı. He was born and grew up in Istanbul. His father is engaged in trade, his mother is a housewife, he has a sister. “My sister is studying in Canada. There are no actors in the family, but the person who directed me to the theater was my mother. It pushed me a little. I was more into sports. I made friends over time, I loved being on stage. Now my mom is proud of me, my most fanatical follower.”
Childhood years: While in high school, he decided he wanted to be an actor. “I had nothing to do with being a student. I was studying at a regular private high school. I was bringing in nine weaks every year. Depression, depression, fighting and noise were not missing at home. Then I thought it wasn’t going to go like this. At the beginning of 11th grade, we were in a math class. The teacher wrote formulas on the board. I said, ‘I can’t go through this ordeal for another year’, I stood up in the middle of the lesson and said, ‘Sir, I’m leaving’. I couldn’t believe it either, but I felt that I couldn’t continue for another year. My teacher said, ‘My son, sit down. I knocked on the door. I was 16 years old. I went to the counseling service. We sat and talked. I researched, there was a fine arts high school I wanted to go to. I had gone to a theater course before. I was interested as a hobby. I knew I wanted to be an actor. My family also supported my decision. This was my biggest chance. I found myself in the aptitude test when I was trying to go to school I passed the exam and enrolled in the theater department. My grades have also skyrocketed. I almost got 100 while sleeping. Peace prevailed at home. I was one of the popular students of the school. There has already been a series in the last year. So I started working.”
Education life: After completing his education at Adıgüzel Fine Arts High School Theater Department, he graduated from Kadir Has University Acting Department.
The first step into acting: He started his television adventure in 2012 with the TV series “Bir Zamanlar Osmanlı Kıyam”
Which project did it shine with? He attracted attention with the character of “Ege”, which he acted in the TV series “Masumlar Apartmanı”.
Social: In his spare time, he likes to travel and explore new places. “When I don’t have a set, I just run away. I love travelling so much. I invest the money I earn on travel. Seeing new places feeds me. Instead of drinking the same coffee in the same place every day where I am, I want to see other places and meet new people. I think people grow up on the road, by traveling and seeing.”
Mindset: He doesn’t care much about being famous, sometimes even embarrassed by people’s attention. “I’m not good with fame. It’s nice that people take an interest in me and recognize me, but I’m embarrassed. I don’t have a goal of being famous, I don’t have a primary goal. I’m doing my job, this is also developing while I’m doing my job. I don’t have any special effort for this. Through my profession, I want to question the concept of fanaticism in particular. Through my profession, I think that the sharp lines of thought about life should either be reformed or changed; because I believe that people should have more flexible and blurry perspectives.”
First feature film: Leyla Yılmaz / Bilmemek
His outlook on life: He thinks that making the world a better place is possible by being fair. “I think being fair is above all else, even if you lie. Being fair is above all, I think, even when it is fair, lying can be prevented. I have no essentials in life. I generally accept something in my own life as it is and continue to learn. I think it is more advantageous if a person adapts it to his own life and accepts something as it is. He can look at things less stressful, cleaner and clearer. I think we should accept things as they are and know how to live.”
His view of business life: He thinks that luck, talent, effort and education are needed to be successful. “Even if one is missing, it doesn’t happen. Being handsome is an advantage, but not enough. Until today, I have been in a job that I love to be among and meet very special people. The people and teams I have worked with until now have always consisted of very good people. Frankly, I think I am very lucky in this regard, so I hope good things will happen for my career and I will do good works. I think the adventure of TV series and movies on the internet will add incredible things to the industry. This is actually a great chance. It’s a huge advantage for people who want to create something or put something out there because this is a very large scale and independent environment; It is an incredible platform for people to express themselves, to color things. I hope it continues in that variety.”
Future Dream: His biggest dream; Going into space with two of his friends before he dies.
