Their story - From Beren & Engin to Fatmagül & Kerim / Volume 3

I'll be honest with you... After Türkiye'nin Yıldızları (2004) was over, i haven't watched any of the productions Engin Akyürek was in till "Fatmagül'ün Suçu Ne?", for which now i regret.

But it was not my fault.

I didn't even know he continued his acting career after Türkiye'nin Yıldızları. Despite his victory in the competition show, he never became as popular as Beren, or even half of it. I wish i watched him at least in "Bir Bulut Olsam" where -i heard- he had an excellent performance as the lead role.

Another thing i must be honest about is that, when i saw him in "Fatmagül'ün Suçu Ne?", i couldn't recognise him! Don't blame me now. He looks completely different than the Engin I watched in 2004. Here you can see his transformation and growth in these photos of him:

And finally... 

Fatmagül'ün Suçu Ne? (Kerim, 2010)

You see the change in his shape and character in every production he's acted in. I hope it didn't make you dizzy, looking at so many pictures. (I couldn't find how to put the pictures side by side, instead of making a huge tower of them. I am still learning this, so bear with me! )

I've read a lot about him on the internet while i was searching for information and those pictues above. And i haven't seen a single negative comment about his personality or his acting. That should be a good sign, and a good reason to follow him and watch everything he's involved.

Unfortunately there isn't so much i can tell you about him, since he seems to be good at avoiding paparazzies. Here is the little information we have of Engin Akyürek:

- He's born in 12th October of 1981, in Ankara.
- He's 187 cm tall.
- He is graduated from Ankara University History Department.
- His name Engin means "Broad Sea" or "Vast"(Adjective)

 His career:
- Yabanci Damat ("The Foreign Groom", 2004, tv series)
- Kader ("Destiny", 2006, film)
- Karayılan ("Black Snake", 2007, tv series)
- Bir Bulut Olsam ("Beyond the Clouds"*, 2009, tv series)

And of course
- Fatmagül'ün Suçu Ne? ("What is Fatmagul's fault?". 2010-?, tv series.)


The end. I hope you enjoyed this series of articles. You can write me with your article requests, ideas and suggestions from here.

(*: "Bir Bulut Olsam" actually means "I wish I was a Cloud". Bulut here is the last name of Engin's character, which also means "Cloud" in Turkish)
