Family: He was born in Adana, he has two siblings, he has an interesting story that he lived with his mother when he was little. “I sleep with the smell of my mother. There’s nay nay while you sleep, the gauze that is tied to the head. When my mother took me for a walk, one day in the stroller, an old aunt came across in a park. The old aunt said to my mother, ‘The child is very sweet. Cover this child with cheesecloth,’ he said. My mother listened to the old aunt. Every time we went out, he covered me with a cheesecloth. Since my childhood, I have sucked cheesecloth like a baby food. I’m still sleeping with nay nay right now. I named it nay nay. My mother sends me the cheesecloth she tied around her head every week. I sleep like narcos with its scent. I never get sleepy when I smell it. I wouldn’t be able to sleep anywhere else without it. “
Childhood years: Being an actor was a childhood dream. His family has always supported him in this regard. “When I was little, there was a very active production. I was always playing games and imitating myself. As I got older, I realized that when I was with my family, I seriously made them laugh. While I was still at school in Adana, I decided to do this job professionally. With the support of my family, I took the road to Istanbul, where it is said that its stone and soil is gold, and I received the necessary training here. With a little luck, a little luck, and serious determination, I think I have achieved a good success even though I am at the very beginning of the road.”
Education life: He studied theater at Müjdat Gezen Art Center.
The turning point of his career: He sees the TV series “Kurtar Vadisi Ambush”, which is his first screen experience, as the turning point of his career. “The education I received was a bit theater-oriented, I wanted to be in front of the camera as well, and one day, while reading the newspaper, I saw that Pana Film had opened a training school in front of the camera. I went and applied within that week, and while the trainings there were continuing, I found myself in the directory. When I went there and registered, I learned that such a type was already sought and I was the person they were looking for.”
The first step into acting: He started his television adventure in 2007 with the character of “Pusat Çakır”, which he portrayed in the TV series “Kurtlar Vadisi Pusu”.
Which project did it shine with? He attracted attention with the character of “Keşanlı”, which he portrayed in the TV series “Söz”.
Personality Traits: Conscientious, fair, friendly. “I take care of family values, I cannot stand injustice, I am a very patriotic person. I love my country and my flag. I am very fond of my friends. In my daily life, I am friendly and loyal to my family. I am not angry or aggressive.
Mindset: Although he regrets some of his decisions, he sees all of them as life experiences. “I regret my decisions later. I’m not complaining, they cause me regrets and regrets. On the one hand, it gives me lessons and experience, since we, as human beings, exist from regrets and regrets.”
Source of happiness: Being healthy, family and friends are the biggest source of happiness. “I love to be grateful for life. Nothing is more important to a healthy person than this. From time to time, I go to our disabled brothers. I am interested in them. I hope many of my fellow actors do this. They need the people they see on TV, they are very happy. A smile is enough for them. I think the biggest charity in life is to smile. Being a good person is my goal. My goal in life is to be a good actor and a good person. There are some doors you can’t open with money. Friendship, friendship and relationships come to the fore.”
Perspective on life: “I definitely can’t say ‘No’. I hate this behavior. People’s happiness is more important than my happiness. If you are not happy here right now, I am very disturbed by this situation. They called me somewhere, I don’t want to go, but I’m going so that the other party won’t be upset. I am needy and it caused a panic attack for me for a while. When I look back, I see that I couldn’t live my own life, I was just trying to please others, and this was very tired. Now I’m learning to say ‘No’. I’m a Libra, I have some imbalances. “
His perspective on business life: He is not bothered by the long and tiring working conditions in TV series. “I don’t have any problems because I love my job. Compared to other jobs, those who are comfortable in acting should appreciate it. In my opinion, I don’t think the Turkish audience will accept it if the series are shortened. Because the audience spends a serious time in front of the television. For some people, television is their greatest hobby. I’m not very good at writing. I don’t want to be involved in a job that I can’t do. There are some very successful writers. Acting is my choice.”
Career plan: Career goal is to be a wanted actor. “I really love this job. When it is said ‘3-2-1’, I get a completely different pleasure in front of the camera. I see that I belong there. I want to be a man preferred by producers and directors by taking part in many projects in the future. I want to meet the expectations of people who say, ‘This child can carry this and overcome it’, when a script comes up and it is said, ‘Who acts this role’, when my name comes up. When evaluating incoming projects, I consider all factors. This is teamwork. A good working environment is the choice of the actor with the script, actor, director, set staff.”
Future Dream: I want to reach very good places related to my job. I want to get married and be a father. When I look at people’s biographies, behind every successful man there is a woman who supports him and brings him there. I believe this to the end. I know that the woman will touch my life very well.”
His biggest passion: He has a motorcycle. “I ride carefully. Friends who use it should not set out without equipment.”
Who does he admire? There are names that he does not take as an example, but that he likes. “The example is another case because. Everyone has character and life. We are all acting. I do not take an example, but there are Kadir İnanır and Türkan Şoray from Yeşilçam, whom I admire and become a patient of. But I have a very serious admiration for Kadir İnanır in particular. In my spare time, I watch Kadir İnanır movies from Yeşilçam. I have never met Kadir İnanır. If I meet, maybe this will get out of balance. That’s why I don’t prefer to match. If I wanted to coincide, there are people around us who would bring it together. I’m not meeting to keep the magic of the matter. As for today, I have the top 5. These names are: Gürkan Uygun, Ertan Saban, İsmail Hacıoğlu, Mert Turak and Berk Hakman.”
Which movie influenced him: “I finished all the films of Inarritu and Aronofsky.”
