Family: Born and raised in Izmir. His father was working as a worker in the Public Works Directorate, his mother was taking care of the cleaning and tea works in the furniture market. His family lives in Izmir. He got married on June 16, 2014 with the advertiser Aslı Türkel, the sister of the assistant director of the film, whom he met during the filming of “Nefes: Vatan Sağolsun”. The couple had a daughter named ‘Naz’ in 2016.
Childhood years: During his childhood, he worked in lathe leveling, transportation and salesmanship. He started working after high school. The day after graduating from high school, he started working as a shop assistant in a fabric shop in the furniture market. He worked here for four years. He had a passion for acting from an early age. The love for the stage began when an upper-class person fell ill at an April 23 ceremony and his teacher pushed him to the stage because he knew his lines by heart. After that, he did a theater in high school, he never broke off. He played in the Hamlet Theater. He played supporting roles in the State Theater. “I had a primary school teacher, I mention his name everywhere, I cannot reach him, Asiye Menteş, I wish we could reach him. Emine Seçkin and Asiye Menteş are two people who shaped me in my life, guided me and opened my mind. One was my primary school teacher and the other was a middle school science teacher. Asiye Menteş took me on the stage when my friend who was going to read poetry got sick on April 23, because I knew that poem by heart. From under my chin to my neck, my lips, all over me had herpes, I never forget. Then he made me stage on every special day on April 23, May 19, October 29, on official holidays, and he had theater on each holiday, he was assigning a task in the choir, it actually started like this. Then, after middle school, high school and high school, I signed up with amateur theaters in Izmir, an agency in Istanbul, and started going to small series. ”
Education life: He studied in the torno-leveling department in Vocational High School. She graduated from Anadolu University Faculty of Business Administration. He came to Istanbul in 2004 and studied acting at Ekol Drama Art House. He attended a master’s degree in acting at Bahçeşehir University.
The turning point of his career: He left home for a while in Izmir and earned his own money and lived in a caravan. But he never broke off from the theater, either. “Even though I didn’t earn five cents, I was going to the theater right away from work. Because my dream was always to do theater. Then, with the connection of a friend, I came to Istanbul and went to TV with the TV series “Enough Anne”. The movie “Breath: Thanks to Vatan” was the turning point of my career. I went to a commercial interview. There, Levent Semerci said to me, “I will make a very good movie, I will make you play”. Two years later they called, I went and met. They wanted a five-minute audition and I got involved in the movie. By the way, the assistant director of the film was Hande Türkel. I have a sister-in-law right now. When I starred in the movie “Breath”, we were staying with three friends in a penthouse in Gümüşsuyu. Then we lived with my friends in a 1.5-room house in Ortaköy for two years. We had a lot of difficulties. But I didn’t care about the difficulties I had at that moment. Because I was focusing on what I wanted to do, and I was so happy. Now when I look at myself, it makes me feel very good that such a man is doing business with important names such as Rutkay Aziz and Suna Pekuysal. ”
First step into acting: He started his television adventure with the TV series ‘Yeter Anne’.
With which project did he shine? He drew attention with the character “Nihat”, which he portrayed in the “Forbidden Love” series.
Personality traits: Natural, modest, sincere, determined, calm.
Social: Interested in Far Eastern sports. After completing his aikido training for 2 years, which he started in Izmir, he continued this training in Istanbul. He is also interested in equestrian sport and does Kite Surf.
Mindset: He has appeared in many TV series and movies. She feels satisfied with what she has done in her career so far, and likes to be out of sight in her private life. “I don’t know what it looks from where others look, but I am very happy where I am. I am a man who is invisible and likes to spend time in his own world. I spend time with my child and my wife. I go to the mountains in my spare time; I collect wood and light a fire, I recite my memories in the forest, where nobody is there, shouting. ”
Source of happiness: He is happy to play Atatürk in the movie “Çanakkale 1915” and the TV series “Either Independence or Death”. “When I was a kid, I thought I was going to be important, but I didn’t know what I was going to be. With my child mind, I would say ‘I wonder if I will be Atatürk’. It was possible to portray Atatürk on the screen. It’s a difficult and responsible feeling to handle. You know, especially when he’s getting ready, he’s so smart and thinks so fast that you can’t figure out what to do where. I wonder if he did it calmly while doing this. Or, while I was playing, I researched them more to see what their feelings were in this scene. I have read many books. A book by İlker Başbuğ came out, I read it just while we were shooting the movie. I have read Turgut Özakman’s books. It’s been a while when I say documentaries or something. It’s not actually getting ready. In my spare time, I read them and slept with them. But have I been able to pay for it? It is also the appreciation of the audience. I did my best, but of course it was difficult. When I entered a room as Atatürk, the auxiliary players were recovering. That weight was reflected in the friends. ”
First movie: Levent Semerci / Nefes: Vatan Sağolsun
His gaze on love: “I proposed to my wife because I was in love and loved her very much. We got engaged in March and got married in June. We were walking together. At that moment I had a soda cap in my hand. I said, “Will you marry me?” It all started with a joke. I hadn’t planned it, it just felt like it. He said “Yes”. Then I re-offered it with a real ring. “
His view of life: He prefers a quiet life with his family in his spare time and private life. “Since I love living and spending time with my wife, I don’t know what deserted men and women are doing around. Now there are always married couples like us around us. We talk about babies, talk about home life. Not everyone can handle these conversations. That’s why we were eliminated and decreased. I thank everyone who encouraged us for the child. There was a crowd saying “You are getting married, your life is over”, I think they have decreased and finished. Now there are people who say, “Let my friend have a child, let him taste this happiness, be responsible.”
His attitude to business life: He values period works very much and he generally uses his preferences in favor of these works. “Three Çanakkale films were made in one year for a period, and I also played in one. Everyone said, “How many Çanakkale movies have been.” I think little. A Rambo has six films, a movie called 1917 was made, it was at the Oscars, it is still being made and they are trying to tell the better from another angle, with another story. When we tell it with a story, it does not happen, it is tried immediately. Ok, it happens next time. We are trying, it’s not Hollywood, but we are in search of ourselves and very important directors, institutions and producers have done it. They also told a story in ‘Wounded Love’, played by Halit Ergenç, and when we saw Mustafa Kemal’s photo and said ‘Wow, my Mustafa’, we all got eyes. We long for these. These things need to be done more. These works attract a lot of attention because we have longing. I think our generation in particular has a weakness to see this in the story. ”
What has he added to your father’s life? His view of life has changed. They would say, “You can’t understand what fatherhood means without a father.” Indeed it was. After my daughter Naz was born, I realized that she is your only love and the center of your life. My outlook on life has also changed. I got emotional. ”
