Childhood years: He has been professionally interested in many sports since his childhood. He played professional volleyball for two years at Karabük Demir Çelik High School and Ankara Emlak Bank Sports Club. He quit volleyball when he was seventeen due to injury. “The most important advice I will give to young people is that sports can keep people away from drinking, smoking and bad environments, as in my own life. I lived and saw it myself. I have been on the school team since elementary school, I was a captain. It also gave me self-confidence. It also kept me away from bad friendships. Young people should stay away from cigarettes, drugs, and alcohol and turn to sports for a better future. ”

He was an athlete in the Fenerbahçe Boxing Club. After deciding to become an actor, he studied theater art at Ekol Drama Art House from instructors such as Ayla Algan and İpek Bilgin.
Acting career: His life changed while he was walking on the road. After playing in the music video of Funda Arar’s song “Özledim” through Gökçe Doruk Erten, the owner of the cast agency she met while walking on Istiklal Street, he modeled twice and modeled twice, then his acting career started. “Modeling and modeling started after the clip. I’ve already modeled twice and modeled twice. I met Gökçe Doruk Erten, the owner of the casting agency, while going somewhere on Istiklal Street. A week later I played in the clip and made a quick introduction to acting from there. ”
First step into acting: He started his television adventure with the character ‘Fuat’ in the ‘1001 Nights’ series.
With which project did he shine? He drew attention with the character of “Levent Tuncel”, which he portrayed in the series “Leaf Cast”.
Personality traits: Humble and emotional. “It is true that I am aggressive, but I can still control myself. I love to do all kinds of sports. Especially water sports. I read a lot of books. To improve myself. I have some phobias; I cannot pass under the stairs. There was also a fear of losing my new loved ones. While competing in Survivor, I lost my beloved aunt. And when my mother had sudden illness, I was like that. ”
Social: He enjoys spending time with his family in his spare time. “I also love to take a vacation by car, without planning, according to my mind.”
Mindset: He attaches great importance to positive thinking and being happy. ” I read a book. He called Shibumi. There I was impressed by the character of Nicholai. It tells about respect for everything in natural culture. My philosophy can also be respect for nature. I think happiness is a source of life for me and everyone. Happiness is the motivation of life, it is the blood of man. Happiness is a beginning to love, to affection. An unhappy person means lacking everything. If I’m unhappy, I don’t want to do anything. That’s why I’m generally happy. I am someone who knows it’s easy to be happy. ”
What kind of person is he on set? He observes a lot while preparing for his role. “There is such a thing as visual memory, and I observe a lot. Actually, I started to create a character in the TV series “Karadayı”. I don’t know how much it reflected in the role there. Because he was a creepy character every now and then. He was neither good nor bad, neither loved nor disliked the girl. But the important thing is to create something. ”
First motion picture: Kağan Erturan / En Mutlu Olduğum Yer
Admires: Kadir İnanır and Cüneyt Arkın
His gaze on love: “Our secret may be that we love each other very much with my wife. This is reflected in the children. I do not have many tricks, but my wife is a world-class and very understanding person. It probably causes me to be at home. “
Attitude to life: He attaches great importance to quality, respect, justice and fairness in its environment. “As long as I can remember, I have always been helping my family and the people I love. From this point of view, my purpose in life may be to contribute to these energies. I think my biggest task is to be a useful person. There is no need to make big words for this. ”
His attitude to business life: He has no ambition for money. He pays attention to the project. “My good time with my family is more important to me. I have no greed for money. But I want to take part when it comes to action and quality work. The fame didn’t surprise me. I am what I am. People around me always loved me. Women have always been interested in me. So, because of my reputation, the opposite sex’s gaze does not interest me much. I’m not a man hungry for such things. Like some people, I won’t be surprised and make a mistake.
Career plan: He wants to take a role in a movie in the style of action movies shot abroad. I want to act in a movie like “The Man With No Past” that has both combat, action and good plot. It can be a comedy movie when I think of it in extreme extremes. Actually, looking at my appearance, the comedy seems a little distant. That’s why I want to act in a comedy movie. He could be a romantic comedy or a funny type as a character. In the style of “Recep İvedik” as Şahan did. Sometimes there are some funny characters that I do to have fun with my family while we are with us or driving in the car. Maybe I can even shoot it and publish it one day. There is no such thing that I would never play this. It existed before, but I broke it. If there is a director that I do not like, if the cast is not good, I can refuse a very good action, I am not in it. I am such a great actor and I am not one of those who enter into a mood like either I write or shoot. Let me enjoy acting right now, we will see in the future. ”
Dream of the Future: He also wants to be on the theater stage in the future. “I would love to play in the theater. We were playing with my brother Erhan Yazıcıoğlu, whom I love very much, in Karadayı, and I learned a lot from him. I think I can even do comedy in the theater. I trust myself in that matter. I also want to open a restaurant. The reason is that I do not like cooking or eating. I know the taste of my mouth. I can take part in any restaurant I will open, especially in the kitchen. ”
Concerns: He finds censorship in all fields of art alarming. “If I were given a mandate about art, I would provide freedom in every sense. Freedom is something that should be in every branch, everywhere. I wish movies were shot and games played as desired. This is the general shortage of art. People cannot freely express their opinions. I think you should be open to ideas. Art has no religion or language. It is universal. ”
What kind of father? A father about his children, who enjoys spending time with his family. “We go to children’s theaters and game halls once a week. We went to the circus several times. We drive around by car. I love my daughters and my children very much, thank God, my best and happiest time is with my daughters, my wife. May Allah not spoil you. So I am a sensitive caring father. I’m also a little emotional. ”
How is it with social media? “Although he is not very active on social media, he posts on Instagram from time to time. “I use social media slowly, enjoying it. I do not want to appear constantly. For example, we are somewhere with my family, we are very happy at that moment, I click, I say ‘Oh what a beautiful photo it is’ and share it. I do not want to show my private, my wife, my children too much. But social media is now a requirement of the age. I try to use it without exaggeration. I don’t like the excess. ”
What is his biggest passion? Passionate about speed. He loves to speed with a racing car on the track. If they asked, “What is the biggest craze you will do in order to be happy?”, I would say, “To tour a racetrack for a day with the fastest car in the world”. I can use anything that goes. I ride a horse. I also used an airplane. The one I call a plane for 2 people. We got up from Hezarfen, the pilot adrenaline enthusiast said “take it, use it”. I used it, I took it off, it landed it. It was the first time in my life. We went with my wife. It was exciting.”
How does he keep his shape? He has been doing crossfit for a long time. “It is a very beneficial sport in terms of health and body image. I always have sports in my life, I cannot be comfortable without sports. I feel uncomfortable if I don’t go one day. Since my childhood, I have been involved in different sports. Sports takes 2 hours a day, then we come home and continue to play with the children. ”
What does he do at home? He has a good relationship with the kitchen, he likes to cook. “I definitely start the day with a glass of water in the morning. Then I play music. Then I do my morning exercise. I usually have breakfast on the weekends and my indispensable is the egg. If I’m going to work, I’ll get up early. If I have shots, I shave. I do push-ups and sit-ups and then I take a shower. ”
