Lately, i have been receiving quite a few e-mails from you guys that are rightfully asking for more information about your favorite "Fatmagul's Suçu Ne?" actress and actor; Beren Saat (Fatmagül) and Engin Akyürek (Kerim).
So i thought this topic deserves a post. Maybe more than one, even. Let's start and see where this goes...
It was the first half of the last decade. "Popstars" reality show era in Turkey was in decline and living its last moments. Turkish television channels were in search for newer, more interesting TV formats for the audiance that was finally bored of watching "singing competitions".
Show TV (a turkish television channel) went for a derivation of "Popstars", and came up with "Türkiye'nin Yıldızları" (Stars of Turkey); an "acting" oriented reality-competition show. And as you may have already guessed, Beren and Engin were two of the competitors in this show. The most promising ones, too.
I watched them in Turkiye'nin Yıldızları occasionally. And i must admit that Beren and Engin shined so brightly in the solo and group plays they performed, that it was obvious one of them was going to be the winner.
After Engin won the competition and Beren came as the runner-up, no one could complain to such a result. He won the title with pure talent and passion, after all. On the other hand, there were some people doubting Beren's acting capabilities, claiming that she came up second because of her looks rather than her performances.
I am not in one of those doubters. Beren was only 20 then when she was competing in such a big production, in front of millions of people! It was definite that she would certainly have a great future as an actress, as long as she continued to be this enjoyable to watch, and as long as she worked hard to improve her acting even more.
Shortly after Turkiye'nin Yıldızları was over, Beren received a job offer to be the face of TOFITA (a candy product) in a series of commercial videos...
Following the commercials, she played a relatively small role in Aşkımızda Ölüm Var (2004, mini tv series) and after her good performance, she would be given bigger roles in bigger productions in the following years:
Aşka Sürgün (2005, mini tv series)
Hatırla Sevgili ("Remember Darling", 2006-2008, tv series)
Aşk-ı Memnu ("The Forbidden Love", 2008-2010, tv series)
Güz Sancısı ("Pains of Autumn", 2009, film)
Gecenin Kanatları ("The Wings of the Night", 2009, film)
and of course finally:
Fatmagül'ün Suçu Ne? ("What is Fatmagul's fault?", 2010-?, tv series)
and now she is doing:
Intekam (2012 tv series)
And here are some facts about Beren Saat:
- She was born in February 26, 1984.
- She is 167 cm tall.
- Studied Business and Management in Baskent University, Ankara. In fact, she joined Turkiye'nin Yıldızları while she was still a student.
- Her boyfriend, Efe, passed away shortly after Turkiye'nin Yıldızları was over, at age 19.
Now about Akyurek then i must say in "Fatmagül'ün Suçu Ne?". He looks completely different than the Engin in 2004. Here you can see his transformation and growth in these photos of him:(In the brackets are the name of the character he played, and the year of the production.)
I've read a lot about him on the internet while i was searching for information and those pictures 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 paparazzis. Here is the little information i 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.)
now a days he is in news of making a movie. I hope it would be a hit too like his other work :)

Karayılan (Nizipli, 2007)
and finally ....
Fatmagül'ün Suçu Ne? (Kerim, 2010)
You can 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.
