Originally From: Izmit / KocaeliInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/_burakdeniz/Pets: He has a dog. Family: He was born and raised in Izmit. His parents separated when he was very young. “That’s why I returned to my grandparents’ house. It was a crowded family with my uncles, aunts, grandfather and grandmother.
I was the first grandchild and nephew. I can say that I took the cream of it a lot. For me, family means home. The places you go during the day, the work you do, the people you meet, the moments you laugh and feel sad, this is a life as a whole; I think family is beyond all of these. I believe that when you return to the family, you can calm down there. Family is a stopping point for me. It is a familiar, safe stop where I find myself.” Childhood years: As a child, he had a dream of becoming an actor.
“When did I start watching Turkish movies, which was with my grandmother and as far as I remember, it started when I was 7-8 years old. Since then, acting has been a path for me that I will start walking on when the day comes.” Education life: He graduated from Çanakkale 18 Mart University, Department of Art History. First step into acting: He had his first acting experience with the character ‘Onur’ in the TV series ‘Kolej Günlüğü’.
Which project did he shine with? His star rose with the TV series “Tatlı Küçük Yalancılar”. Personality traits: Energetic, sympathetic, relaxed, natural, realistic, taking firm steps, focusing on the moment. Personal development: In his free time from the sets, he tries to improve himself with workshops and actor coaches. Social: He spends most of his free time doing sports. He runs, swims, bikes. “I will start capoeira soon.
I will work on getting to know body strength rather than martial arts. Motorcycles are very enjoyable. Because you need to be very careful and focused. “That is an event that stops my mind a lot.” Mentality: He always aims to go above and beyond what he does. “As you get older and the seriousness of the work you do increases, you think that more people will watch you and the quality of the people who watch you will increase.
I wish I could do everything, but I believe that there are limits to what actors can do. Not everyone can play every role. There will come a role that I cannot play from myself. Then someone else can play the role that I cannot play.” What is he like on set? Since he did not study at the conservatory, he sees the sets as a school. “When I move from one job to another, I try to do things that I didn’t do before. Basically, I try to bring out something different from myself in the character I play.” Source of happiness: He is happy to be compared to ‘Kadir İnanır’.
“The man I am compared to is Kadir İnanır. How many people come to mind when Yeşilçam is mentioned? It is a great feeling to be compared to him. They recently showed me a photo from the movie ‘Karagözlüm’. We really look very similar.” First movie: Mu Tunç / Arada Person he admired: “There was someone I admired and was jealous of. I was a crazy ‘Harry Potter’ fan. Later, he became ugly, but I admired Draco Malfoy when I was in primary school.
He was a very annoying kid with his hair and attitude. “At that time, it attracted my attention with its good and bad story.” His view on life: He has learned not to judge people and puts love at the center of his life. “Knowing that I will leave here one day teaches me to maintain that balance in my life. When you put sharing and love at the center of your life, after a while you start to stop judging people, your life and what’s going on.
At least that’s what I did. I believe that if you take life with you rather than against it, you will enjoy it. Of course, I don’t have an absolute acceptance attitude, but I only push the limits on the things I really want. We do a very public job and there needs to be a desirable man on screen. The audience wants to see a healthy man. “I pay attention to my health and what I eat, and I eat healthy.” View of business life: When deciding on a project, the first priority is the scenario.
His second priority is who he is and with whom he will do this job. “The aftermath is already flowing. Once the script and actors are complete, the project shines. Handsomeness and beauty are temporary things. I want to do this job as much as my body allows, until I die. I always need to improve and not settle for what I have. The reason for most of the jobs I receive may be that I am not an ugly man, but I don’t want people to just look at me from that perspective.
I don’t want to walk through that area. I want people to say, ‘This guy is doing this job.’ For anyone who loves their job, doing it is a blessing. I want to do justice to this grace. The other way around doesn’t satisfy me. I also have such an obsessive side. “I’m worried about where I can take the character to the extreme.” Career plan: He wants to be remembered not only for his appearance but also for his talent. He always wants to do more and better.
“I have more character-oriented works in mind. I want to lose myself in the character. When we cut the recording I have to say, ‘What did I do?’ It makes me feel good when I stand, talk, and look like a different man than the man I am now. A character like this would really satisfy me. I would also love to take part in a project set in the medieval period. “It is a period that I am very curious about and also interested in in terms of art history.” Future Dream: His dream is to play a well-written serial killer.
“Among my plans for the future are plans such as taking my profession to the highest level I can and looking as healthy as possible, which I am currently working on. But other than that, I don’t have any unforeseen plans. I don’t know what life will bring. Since I realized that what motivates me is exploring, it has been my dream to see other countries, like most people. Traveling the world, perhaps living with the traditions of a community I love.” His least favorite feature?
Being very impatient: “Of course, this brings with it many negative behaviors. It’s a side of me that I constantly have to remind myself to rein in.” Concerns: He is concerned about people’s endless ambition. “As if it is not enough that time is increasingly working against you, the ambition and greed you see every day makes this place unbearable. Unfortunately, you cannot turn your back on what you see and hear. Who does he admire?
Haluk Bilginer and Kenan İmirzalıoğlu. “I wanted to work with Haluk Bilginer, I already did. I even killed him. It was a great honor for me to kill Haluk Abi. I learned something from everyone I worked with, I’m glad I did. I would also like to work with Kenan İmirzalıoğlu. “I would like to understand what he is doing, how he can have such an impact, and see how far I can push him.” Criteria for attractiveness in a woman: She not only expects her to be “intelligent” but also wants to be admired.
“He is smart but mangy. That’s why intelligence alone is not the criterion. I believe love develops depending on the moment, but it definitely has to be someone I can get along with. I mean, she’s a beautiful girl, but you don’t love the ones she loves. “The person I will be with must have advantages over me, I must admire him, and this admiration must continue throughout the relationship.” Relationship with nature: He finds peace in nature.
“For me, holiday means greenery rather than sea and sand. The moments when I can be alone in nature relax me. I also find peace in the calm beaches and greenery of Istanbul.” Which movie influenced you? He watches a lot of movies, ‘Amores Perros’ is a movie he can’t get enough of.
