Family: Born as the only child of a tailor mother and a chauffeur father. His father was a minibus driver on the Üsküdar-Kadıköy line. Between the ages of 14 and 24, he grew up in Maltepe, Istanbul. Originally from Artvin. His family migrated to Istanbul from the Anaçlı village of Ardanuç at the end of the 1877-1878 Ottoman-Russian War and settled in the Muratlı village, which was expropriated in 1973 and now under the waters of the Ömerli Dam. Between 1993-2004, he has a daughter named Gülenay from his marriage with actor Günay Karacaoğlu. He made his second marriage to Özge Turna in 2017. The couple had a daughter named Turna in 2020. “My family was a core family of three. I grew up in Üsküdar Selamsız. We settled in Maltepe when I was 15 years old. My youth passed there. ”
Childhood years: He didn’t have the trouble of being an only child. He was a curious boy playing ball, climbing the trees. “The district where you grew up determines how you will be. Üsküdar was a very colorful district. These were very fun days. We were always on the street. There is no such neighborhood culture anymore now. You had a grocery store, a town, a greengrocer, a dough maker. Everyone knew each other. If you could not find whatever you were looking for in one of these shops, it would be said “There is in Şaban”, you would go to the other grocery store. There was another way of communication. There was no cell phone communication back then. Hello, how are you? Relationships were more sincere. When you grow up in such an environment, your perspective also changes. I was a curious kid playing ball, climbing the trees. When you are an only child, your friends in the neighborhood become your siblings. There was nothing difficult for me to be an only child. There was no such thing as being cherished. This happens in families living in mansions. After all, I am the son of a driver father and a tailor mother. ”
Education life: He completed his primary and secondary education in Taşmektep Primary School in Üsküdar, and his high school education in Kartal Anatolian High School. He studied theater at Müjdat Gezen Art Center, which he entered after high school.
First step into acting: He started his television adventure in 1996 with the TV series ‘Köşe Kapmaca’.
With which project did he shine? He is known for his character “Mesut” in the series “Back Streets”, where he has been acting since 2006.
Personality traits: Idealistic, fun, sincere, straightforward, hardworking.
Social: During the remnants of filming, they don’t have much time for anything other than going places with friends and taking care of their daughters.
Mindset: He sees himself as the apprentice of people who live for the sake of an idea, a goal, a mission, his dreams, dreams, excitement and life. “I’m just one of those kids who lost their cloak early. There are many of me. Even if he does not lose his father, he remains orphans in this country! People are always looking for the person who gets angry, confused, irritated, protected, hugged, missed and understood more in their absence, namely the father. That’s why the name of my theater is “Baba Sahne”! But when you say father, it is not necessarily a man. We need more Afife Jale, Macide Tanır, Yıldız Kenter, Suna Pekuysal, Nisa Serezli, Adile Naşit, Gülriz Sururi, Gönül Ülkü. It’s not a matter of power or gender, it’s a matter of heart. The only thing that will not leave an actor orphaned is his scene. ”
Source of happiness: Şevket Çoruh is the 5th person to whom Kel Hasan Efendi’s henchman, the symbol of Turkish traditional theater, was handed over after İsmail Hakkı Dümbüllü, Münir Özkul, Ferhan Şensoy and Rasim Öztekin. The artist is very happy and proud of this situation. “Kavuk is a symbol that carries three elements of Turkish traditional theater,” Meddah “,” Middle Play “and” Tuluat “theater from the past to the future. First of all, regarding the continuation of this tradition, you need to have the greatest characteristics of the representatives of that tradition on you. These are to be loved by the public, to entertain the audience and to criticize, no matter how great the pressure of the power that does wrong. In my opinion, there is an obligation to carry these criteria, which are also expressed by Ferhan Brother, throughout my life. I always say this is a great honor and pride for an actor. I am a custodian of this turban until I hand it over to my next colleague, and I bought it on behalf of the actors trying to get through all these difficult days. During this period, it was our masters who gave us morale. ”
First motion picture: Ömer Vargı / İnşaat
His view of life: He chases after his dreams like everyone else. He prefers to have something with his loved ones. “There are choices in life, some choose to be wealthy and do not hesitate to trap their dignity, pride and honor in this way, the focus of power leans towards wherever it is, and does not fail to sow all kinds of grudges, hatred and filth. Others prefer to exist rather than be wealthy. These preferences determine who you are and how reliable you are. I prefer to be trusted over loved. As an actor who graduated from Müjdat Gezen Conservatory, which Müjdat Gezen created by investing all his artist savings, I founded my own theater. I think the pear is also falling to the bottom. Not only Müjdat, but also Ferhan Şensoy, Haldun Dormen, Kenterler, many of our masters did the same. ”
His view of business life: He wants to act all his life. On April 3, 2017, he sold his 7 classic cars and 3 houses with 21 years of financial savings and also took a loan of 7 million TL from the bank and opened the theater called “Baba Sahne” in Istanbul Kadıköy. “I started out with the thought that if we pull art out of our lives, we will be orphaned. If you don’t have a job, you’re an orphan, if you don’t have money, you’re an orphan. But the real artist doesn’t care about money, I would try to open a hotel instead of a theater. Anyway, too much money is not good for an artist. ”
Career plan: He does not think that portraying the same character in the ‘Back Streets’ series since 2006 will undermine his career. “If we can watch a character for so many years without boring anyone, if we can sustain this success consistently, this is a great success. That work will continue as long as the audience is not bored. I do my longing to portray other characters in cinema anyway. This is enough for me. I’ve done drama in the past, if a good project comes, I can do it again. ”
Future Dream: He thinks that if a person’s dreams are over, his life will also end. “I want to build halls for all schools that do not have theater halls in Anatolian cities. The dreams of the players do not end a lifetime. The scenarios he believes, the stories he has read and influenced; The player wants to play a lot more characters. I thought for a long time and also one of Turkey’s first gangster character I was impressed Necdet Elmas. I wish this movie was made, I wish I could play Necdet Elmas. It is a very interesting and true story. ”
Concerns: One of the issues that worries him is the negative impact of the pandemic on private theaters as well as many other sectors. “We haven’t been able to detect damage yet, but it has a huge and devastating impact on private theaters. Apart from healing our own wounds in order to compensate for this damage, we do not have a helping hand yet, and we do not face accusations by some such as why you did not think about the bad days as well as you did not make a savings while your business was going well. I said the name of Baba Sahne, the reason why he is a father, so as not to feel orphans. Unfortunately, I saw how right I was in this pandemic. Except for our audience and a few local administrators, there is nobody asking “what can we do?” There are no institutions that private theaters can get support other than their audience, there may even be those who say that the current government does not care about our troubles because it sees private theaters as institutions opposing itself. However, art and artist are oppositional, they express what they see wrong in the society and want them to be improved through art. Nobody should expect an artist to sing to his power. Private theaters face enormous financial difficulties and unfair competition with subsidized theaters. He is dealing with many financial problems that paid theaters are not exposed to. ”
What kind of father? They have two daughters. One is 23 years old and the other is a baby. “I feel like I am living the master period of the fatherhood journey that I started with Gülenay 23 years ago. Fatherhood is like riding a bicycle, it is not forgotten once you learn it. I am experiencing the firsts again with the crane baby. Baby scent is something else. It makes people dizzy. It gives people hope. Always do the things you want in life. Try to be as free as you can. Make your own rules. I say these are the issues that keep us going. I want my children to be someone who can use their free will and know how to be in the right places at the right time. ”
Who does he admire? He is a great admiration for Savaş Dinçel, who is his teacher and head of the theater department at the conservatory. “Savaş Hoca was a very special person, he was a master rather than a teacher. My teachers say I resemble him in many ways, and that makes me very proud. Whatever it means to you that someone listening to şık Veysel can understand Mussorgski, and someone else listening to Mozart can sing Müslüm Gürses, Savaş Dinçel was for me. Until I died, he breathed in Beyoğlu, Sait Faik’s friend, Nâzım’s brother, Fikret Mualla’s apprentice, Ercüment Batanay’s saz friend, shoe shiner in front of Çiçek Pazarı, Simit shop in Samatya, Çukurcuma ‘ I recognized it as the antique dealer in I dedicated the Father Stage to him and all my masters. ”
