Family: His mother is a housewife, his father is a worker, his older sister passed away when he was little. There is a boy named Ahmet Kaan from his marriage to Ecem Özkaya, an actor like him, between 2010-2019. “My father is from Safranbolu. I spent my childhood in Adana Pozantı and summers in the plateau. I stayed there until I was 18 years old. We lost my sister and father. I am suspended from military service because my mother has cancer and has no one to take care of her but me. Thanks, they provided such a convenience. My sister has a fever when she is 10 months old. They are treated incorrectly, herbal survives for eight years, then deceased. I was five years old, I remember vaguely. My sister, although I was given more attention, I did not hurt her at all. I have never had such jealousy. They trembled on my sister and threw me into the street. You know, “We fidgeted on one, it happened like this, not to the other” account. We were a happy family, despite losing my sister and experiencing great pain. We weren’t wealthy, but we weren’t in need of anyone. We never wanted anything more. It is enough for goodness, beauty, peace and laughter. ”
Childhood years: He wanted to be an actor from his childhood. He got his funny and energetic side from his mother. “My mother is like that. In fact, my whole mother’s side. Crumple, reel. My father was a little more serious. My father was a worker at Anadolu Cam Sanayii factory. At that time glassworkers were doing theater. The factory workers, including my kirvem, played a game called “That Beautiful Ice Cream Color Dress with Cream”. Kirvem also took me to rehearsals when I was 6-7 years old. I always had a dream of theater from those times. I had no other dreams anyway. After finishing secondary school, I wanted to go to the fine arts high school. Both did not have a theater department and my father said, “It is too early for you to leave home.” Then, as soon as I finished high school, I came to Istanbul and took the conservatory exam.
Education life: He completed his primary, secondary and high school education in Mersin. He graduated from Müjdat Gezen Art Center Theater Department.
First step into acting: He started his television adventure with the ‘Tale Of Lies’ series.
With which project did he shine? He drew attention with his character “Muro” in the “Valley of the Wolves” series.
Personality traits: warm, friendly, sympathetic, withdrawn. “I am hot because I am a Southern. I’m moving, I can’t stay still, my hand and arm move too much. Also, I get everybody in me right away. Our people are like that. I am withdrawn, I do not like to be in view too much, I get nervous in the crowd, in this case acting becomes the therapy for me. Because nobody can judge me there. I have always based my relationships on brotherhood, because I am an only child. I have a shortcoming; I want to put people in the place of brothers, but the other party doesn’t need a brotherly relationship. The other party establishes a friend relationship with you. I’m so connected, maybe I’m trying to raise the relationship a little higher, this time life doesn’t allow it. There is disappointment and pain in the end. Maybe I turned more inside to escape from this, I was shut up. ”
Mindset: “The best gift my Lord has given us is love. May Allah not leave anyone’s heart without love. It grows as people love and grows as people love. I love everything that is created because of the Creator. I love the Creator most of all. It is because he made me feel this, because he gave me this gift. ”
His source of happiness: “He is happy to be educated at the Müjdat Gezen Art Center. If I take Müjdat Gezen on the pilgrimage on my back, I cannot pay his right. I can say that the most fun days of my life were at the Müjdat Gezen Art Center. Free for once. There is no school, no food, no tea. Something can happen without money. Mujdat Hodja showed us this. He wore gold bracelets on all of our arms. He taught that our colleagues are our brothers and sisters, the more we value our profession, the more our profession will value us. Savaş Dinçel, Mustafa Alabora, Engin Alkan, Erol Keskin, Güngör Dilmen, Şebnem Sönmez. They are all individual values and they added a lot to us. ”
First movie: Ümit Cin Güven / Metropol Kabusu
His view of business life: He loves his job very much, he never says ‘I am’ about acting. “Each role has its own challenges. It is a bit of trouble to absorb the character into our own body. We are trying to find something new even for his voice, stance, and gait. Technically, I have never worked in my life. I’m going to play, I’m not going to work. May God give everyone the opportunity to do what they love. In order to be a good player, I have to eat 40 more baked bread. Acting is a bottomless pit. It doesn’t mean ‘I am’. When I look at the works I played as a student, I say ‘I used to play differently today’. When I am 50, I will probably say the same for the roles I play now. Technically it looks like a never-ending road.
Career Plan: He dreams of a retirement, where he can shoot two movies in the season and do theater.
How did his life change when he became a father? His son Ahmet Kaan changed everything in his life. “Having a child is a weird thing. I felt like I was rooted. Something both from me and outside of me. My mother used to tell; My father used to say for me, “Ya Emine sometimes I want to kill you, but I can’t stand when I see her face.” I now understand what you mean, how my parents loved me. May my Lord grant everyone who wishes. ”
Who does he admire? He wants to play Müslüm Gürses. He is also a big fan of Ferdi Tayfur. “I am a big fan of Müslüm Gürses. He had come to Pana Film’s dinner to sing a few songs, I met him there. When I first saw Brother Ferdi, my legs trembled with excitement. We used to listen in Adana and Mersin all the time. There were individualists and Muslims. I was a Muslim. ”
What does he do at home? He has a good relationship with the kitchen and likes to cook when he is at home. “I cook so well. I can make stuffed ribs, stuffed ribs, and fish. I like to go into the kitchen. I’m getting rehabilitated in the kitchen. ”
