Yilmaz Erdogan
Born in Hakkari in 1967, Yilmaz Erdogan cut his education
in civil engineering at Istanbul Technical University short to follow
his passion for theater. After working at Ferhan Sensoy's "Nöbetçi Tiyatrosu,"
Erdogan took his theatrical work to the next level when he opened the
Besiktas Cultural Center (BKM) with his business partner Necati Akpinar.
It was at BKM that he wrote Bir Demet Tiyatro, a television show
in which he shared the lead with Demet Akbag. "Mükremin Abi", the character
he created for the series, introduced him to viewers of all generations.
In 2001, Yilmaz Erdogan translated his success and popularity in theater
and television into an equally impressive achievement in film with Vizontele,
which he wrote, co-directed and acted in. The sequel, Vizontele Tuuba
was shot in 2004, where he also took on the title of producer. His latest
film, Organize Isler (Organized Jobs), garnered great
attention, and has verified Yilmaz Erdogan's position as one of the most
prolific and impressive talents in Turkey. |
