MY STORY

ABOUT
ME

Hello! Welcome to my official website. First of all, thank you for wanting to get to know me better. If you say, “Tell me about yourself”, I can summarize the issue as follows:

Like everyone else, I am after my dreams. I spent the first years of my personal adventure that started in Istanbul on February 13, 1987 in the triangle of Istanbul-Bursa-London.

My discovery of the love of acting in me coincided with my high school years. I was lucky that when I was a student, I met acting as Fatih Sultan Mehmet in a documentary film called “Payitaht”. Then I took part in the reconstruction series "Suç Dosyası" “Crime File” which was broadcast on TRT.

In 2010, I finished the Istanbul Müjdat Gezen Art Centre Conservatory. Then I had the opportunity to improve myself in the documentary “Aziz İstanbul” “Holy Istanbul” , which was shot for the European Capital of Culture, Istanbul, the “Kanıt” “Evidence” series broadcast on Kanal D, and my roles in the Uygur Children's Theatre.

In this process, I added my roles in Casper, TTNET Tivibu and Koleksiyon Furniture commercials and several music clips to my portfolio.

In the same date range, during the day, I got a new education in Bilgi University Stage and Performing Arts Management - Performance department, and at night, I swallowed stage dust with my precious and talented actor friends and my director in the play named DurBi’ Dakka at Paso Theatre.

In 2014/2015, I played the character of Alaaddin Özdenören, one of the Seven Beauties for Pusula Film TRT 1 Seven Beautiful Men series.

Due to my decision to settle in the UK in 2016/2020, I continued my career here.

The plays I exhibited in this process are Arcola theatre- Ağır Roman Reco character, The Last Dragon Son Ejderha Prince character, London Turkish Speakers Theatre Festival, Seven Husbands For Hurmuz, Karagöz Hacivat Shadow Plays, and William Shakespeare’s a Midsummer Night's Dream at Arcola Theatre. In the continuation of this, I add something new to my international career every day.

Apart from acting, I engage in combat sports, love to drink Turkish coffee, and one day I dream of having a great dog that I can call “Luck”.
