Erkan Petekkaya — Biography

Erkan Petekkaya is an actor from the State Theatres who became one of the leading men of Turkish television from the mid-2000s on. He made his name as Ömer in Beyaz Gelincik and reached his widest audience as Cihan Gürpınar in Paramparça. More recently he plays the character Salih Zeki Çolak in Asırlık Gece, the TRT 1 drama about the July 15 coup attempt.

He won a place at the Anadolu University State Conservatory and from 1993 worked as a permanent actor with the State Theatres, appearing at the Diyarbakır State Theatre in plays such as Deli Dumrul and Kanlı Düğün. He met television in 1994 through a hidden-camera show and moved into drama in 1998 with Güzel Günler; his first lead was Kadir in Aynalı Tahir. Bülent in Serseri showed his comic side, and as Yılmaz in Köpek he was nominated for best actor at the Beyaz İnci Television Awards. Sessiz Fırtına, Son Bahar, Öyle Bir Geçer Zaman Ki (as Ali Kaptan) and Dila Hanım followed.

In 2017 he signed with Karga Seven Pictures and spent a period in Los Angeles. After returning he played in Vurgun, Gel Dese Aşk, Kırmızı Oda (as Sadi), Sana Söz and O Kız; his film work includes Gecenin Kanatları, Kolpaçino 3. Devre, Ayla and a 2018 historical film in which he played Vlad the Impaler. At the 2017 Golden Butterfly Awards he received the Miracle Makers award.

Their work through different eyes

Series Binger A series devotee tracking character arcs, cast chemistry and season pacing.

The work that has reached Erkan Petekkaya's widest audience is family drama: Öyle Bir Geçer Zaman Ki and Paramparça. Appearing again and again in the same frame has made him familiar, but in my view it also makes his parts harder to tell apart. Bülent in Serseri, which shows his comic side, is one that steps outside that mold.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

For a family evening with Erkan Petekkaya, the lighter tone of Serseri looks like the fit. Ayla is an emotional war drama adapted from a real episode of the Korean War, best with grown-ups and teenagers. Kırmızı Oda is set in a psychiatric clinic; keep it for adults, not children.
