Mert Yazıcıoğlu was born on May 10, 1993, in Istanbul, Turkey. After completing his primary, middle, and high school education in Istanbul, he enrolled in the Business Administration Department of Istanbul Aydın University. During his studies, he decided to pursue a career in acting and began taking acting classes, eventually leaving his business studies halfway through. His first step towards acting came when he visited the set of a TV series where a friend was acting. He appeared in a brief scene in the film "Dedemin İnsanları" and later began appearing on screens with the series "Kayıp Şehir" while also receiving acting training. He initially joined Cast 33 agency founded by Sumru Onat and later met Ümit Çırak. He started taking acting lessons at the Mota Eğitim workshop with Ümit Çırak. From 2013 to 2016, he portrayed the character "Baran Şamverdi" in the series "Karagül," which aired on FOX. He then played the character "Fırat" in the series "Umuda Kelepçe Vurulmaz" and portrayed "Korkut" in the series "Mehmed: Bir Cihan Fatihi." In 2018, he portrayed the character "Cenk" in the film "İyi Oyun." From 2018 to 2019, he played the character "Mahir Yetkin" in the series "Bir Litre Gözyaşı," which aired on Kanal D. He portrayed the character "Sinan" in the Netflix series "Aşk 101." Since the end of 2023, he has been portraying the character "Cüneyd Güneş" in the series "Kızıl Goncalar."
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
