Family: Mother is a housewife from Samsun, his father is a worker from Karaman. The youngest child in the house. “I was born in a six-digit family. I am the fourth and last child of the house. I grew up knowing how precious everything in our life is. My family has always supported me in acting despite their limited means. ”
Childhood years: He spent his childhood living the neighborhood culture. Acting was something he had dreamed of since he was little. “I knew a lot of people in my childhood, collected a lot of stories, and I thank a thousand times for everything I’ve gone through. I noticed that the love of acting was something that already existed. I can say that I took the first step when I was 16 years old. I was in high school. My grades were not very good, but my teachers loved me as a person. I was going to vocational high school, foreign trade department. We were taking classes such as accounting and office management. My high school years were good. My awareness of ‘I will be an actor’ started in primary school. I was acting in skits. ”
Education life: He graduated from Marmara University Foreign Trade Department.
The turning point of his life: The “Persona” series, which was his first production, changed the course of his life. “First of all, it is a chance that I am realizing my first project with such a valuable staff, but I think perseverance is the thing that gives chance. I was very determined. If it is called as chance, I reached this chance with my determination. In general, I prepare for auditions with great professionalism. Therefore, I think I made the characters well. I can say that they liked my interpretation of the Deva in Persona. It may seem very simple to pass by saying ‘it was luck’ because only I knew before ‘Persona’. I believe in and trust the system. In this long marathon that I started taking responsibility for my destiny, I can say that the ‘Persona’ series was the greatest blessing that came to me. When I read the script for the first time, I immediately rolled up my sleeves and said ‘we are starting’. Because it satisfied me. When I look back in the future, I will be able to say that I did a good job in my first job. Deva gave me a grandfather and I will continue to move forward with what this adds. ”
The first step to acting: He started his television adventure with the ‘Persona’ series that came to the screens in 2018.
With which project did he shine? He drew attention with the character “Deva”, which he portrayed in the “Persona” series, which was his first project.
Personality traits: Determined, faithful, patient.
Personal development: He has been working with the actor coach for 2 years using the IvanaChubbuck method. “With the guidance of my player coach to support my acting; I also received sword, fencing and riding training. ”
Social: In his spare time he likes to ride, shoot, run, write, draw, read and watch. “Being in touch with nature really inspires me in every sense, as far as I can. There is nothing I think and do professionally except acting, but I do many things as a hobby that will work for me and improve myself on stage.
Mindset: He has been progressing professionally in terms of acting since he was sixteen years old. He took his first steps by seeing method. He performed in theaters for three seasons. He has met many methods and is still trying to get to know and experience them all. “I see the world as a school full of limitless teachings. I continue my way, believing that everything I breathe, know, see and feel contributes to me. All characters have good and bad sides. It is very difficult to distinguish. Because according to whom, according to what? I think everyone should be able to fight for their own justice. If there is no justice, one loses faith. The sense of justice enables people to strengthen their bond with life. I think everyone should fight for justice, whether with an anarchist spirit or a realist spirit. ”
Unforgettable memory on set: “The most challenging thing for me on set; It was shooting scenes where we danced in Beyoğlu wearing cat costumes in warm weather. Because I’m not good at all with the heat. ”
The source of happiness: It is the greatest source of happiness to take part in his first project with many valuable names, including Haluk Bilginer, Hümeyra and Müjde Ar. “Being on the same list with these names will be a pride I have heard and will hear throughout my life. It was very enjoyable to meet them and share the same scene. All very wonderful, very nice people. I am very happy to know them. If a person feels close to another person, they can establish a warm and close contact even if they have not seen them for years. I think the formula of the relationship between Agah Bey and Deva is their love and curiosity for each other. As an actor, I was motivated by the fact that we got our chemistry with a master like Haluk Bilginer. I hope Haluk Bilginer felt the same closeness. Working with him was a proud and very educational process for me. ”
The person he admires: He admires Onur Saylak. “Working with Onur Saylak and his team never forced me. The professionalism of their work provided incredible convenience to the team and to us. Onur Saylak is a visionary, idealist, quality actor and director from my eyes. ”
His view of life: He likes criticism and often criticizes himself. “I think criticism is a golden blessing for an artist. Sometimes people’s criticism can awaken our sleeping sides. And I am one of those who criticize myself a lot and follow the trial and error paths that we always call difficult because I know that I can do better. ”
His view of business life: He competes with himself to become a better player, always trying to do his best. “From a professional point of view, acting in my opinion cannot have any additional profession. A lot of hobbies can be acquired, but nothing can be done other than acting. I think I have only musical talent. I want to learn how to play musical instruments in the future as I think it will support my profession without leaving my profession behind. I can say that the ‘Personality’ series has given me a lot of awareness due to my job and career. I cannot say that there is a radical change. I became more and more recognized. And I competed with myself to be a better player. We must always work for the better. I think the most unbearable and most attractive aspect of acting is “working hard”. ”
Career plan: Acting does not separate into TV series, cinema and theater. He strives to do his job properly, with great respect in every field. “For the project to stir up excitement, of course the scenario and the story must attract me. I believe that the result of every work done with faith after reading is also very good. I have not received any training etc. related to my voice. I received manager offers from many voice over studios, but now I don’t think it is appropriate to prioritize myself. Of course I would like to enjoy the fun of dubbing after a certain point in my career. Apart from that, if there is a good job, there will be a theater and a big screen. ”
Dream of the Future: He really wants to be one of the best in this business by working, always working harder. “If my mission in the world ended before I could do what I said, it would be what I would not want to happen to me the most. Success is a long and enjoyable road full of teachings. I find the players in our country very successful. Sometimes they are doing such good work under such difficult conditions that I think the number of players who can do this in other countries of the world is much less than in our country. We all deserve to be in world cinema. After I have developed my language well, I want to be included in that action adventure as soon as possible. ”
His hobby: He loves reading books. “For me, reading is one of the best hobbies I create my own atmosphere.
