Ecem Erkek (born 24 June 1989) is a Turkish actress. Her family are from Sivas. After graduating from Ankara Ömer Seyfettin High School in 2006, she decided to become an actress and took drama training at Mamak Municipality Conservatory between 2007–2008 and diction training at Hacettepe University Turkish Society in 2008. She worked as a trainee in Ankara Art Theatre in 2009, and later in 2010 she enrolled as a theatre art major in the School of Language and History – Geography of Ankara University, and graduated from this school in 2015. Starting her acting career with theatre plays, she was cast in many plays including The American Dream, Woyzeck, The Threepenny Opera, Tersine Dünya, Romeo and Juliet and Şark Dişçisi. She joined the cast of the TV series Hayat Sırları in 2017, and later got a role in the theatre play Güldür Güldür, which is still brought to stage in Turkey. In 2018, she appeared in two episodes of Netflix original series The Protector. In 2020, she was nominated for the Best Female Comedian award at the 46th Golden Butterfly Awards, but the award ceremony was not held as scheduled due to the 2020 Balyun airstrikes. She has also recorded and released two songs, "Bu Da Gelir Bu Da Geçer" and "Nereden Bileceksiniz", with the band Taksim Trio.
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.
