Family: Born in Bulgaria. He moved to Istanbul with his family when he was 2 years old.
Education life: Graduated from Pertevniyal High School. He graduated from Yıldız Technical University, Department of Civil Engineering.
The turning point of his life: He was a finalist in Turkey’s best model competition in 2008, but he was chosen as the Best Swimsuit Model. In 2009, he was selected as the Best Model of Turkey. Later, he represented Turkey in the World’s Best Model competition held in Bulgaria and was selected as Europe’s Best Model. After modeling for a while, he studied acting.
The first step into acting: He started his television adventure with the TV series “Mehmed: Bir Cihan Fatihi”.
Which project did it shine with? He attracted attention with the character of “Ferman Façalı”, which he portrayed in the TV series “Eşkıya Dünyaya Hükümdar Olmaz”.
Mindset: As a young actor, he has only one piece of advice to young people who want to do this job professionally. “My advice to those who want to do this profession is that they can work hard, knowing that making art is a luxury. I don’t know any other way either.”
Unforgettable memory on set: He can’t forget his first audition. “I think not all actors can forget their first audition. As for how mine went, I think I can explain it with the words of Barış Manço: There is a me inside of me; beyond me, rather than me. For the funniest mistake I’ve ever made while playing, I can say ‘every time I try to play’, I’ve done it many times, maybe I still do. Because trying to act brings tragedy and comedy to the actor. Pathetic funny situation. Tragicomic!”
First feature film: Caner Özyurtlu / Biz Böyleyiz
His view on business life: He defines the most attractive aspect of acting as being on a long, narrow road. He thinks that the most unbearable part is working hard day and night. “The actor’s pocket is full of handkerchiefs. Music, mathematics, literature, painting are just a few of the other handkerchiefs. When necessary, the actor takes out his handkerchief and uses it without asking anyone’s help. If you don’t have a tissue, you have no choice but to hope that you don’t have a runny nose, that someone doesn’t see you like that, or that someone else will help you again.”
Career plan: The only goal in acting is to constantly explore. “Discovery is the big word. You have to call to find out. An effort to search too. At the same time, during this effort, there may be an empty enthusiasm at the end, many conditions must serve you at the same time. Let’s say you are lucky, when you discover, you should know what to do with what you find and you should have a ready infrastructure for them. I am still at the stage of speaking one by one, to establish the strongest infrastructure and to be by my side under all conditions. Target ; Discover! I would also like to take part in a project on the digital platform. I hope the digital world and what is done there will put us in a competition with the world. Success comes by itself anyway.”
Who does he admire? There are actors whose every work he tries to follow. “British, Russian and recently German TV series have been telling and showing us completely different things. It is no coincidence that they are the three great theater schools in the world. Of course, there are actors whose every work I try to follow. For example, Denis Lavant; eg Ben Whishaw. The list goes on. Keep watching and learning.”
