If we think about action drama that has been aired in Turkey, in order to orient the viewers, how would you place the show?Ĭevdet: It’s somewhat closer to Ezel – still much more drama, with some action, and Backstreets has a lot of action, but the drama is kind of secondary. I basically play a character that has three big chunks of his life in the show, so I have to play three different ‘feels’ and essentially I’m playing three different characters – that alone is another challenge and a new approach for me as an actor, too. This project is an action drama, so it is a unique new type of show for Turkey. Because of that, the attention and energy I spent on trying to bring this character alive is a little bit different, and because of that the result is different too. For me, this one stands out differently in that way. But this one from the very beginning has always been considered as a big international project, with more international appeal and has more potential to go even further internationally. What is the new emotion that this new series will bring to you and to the audience?Įrkan: Of course, the other series I’ve done in Turkey, I’ve sold everywhere in the world, but they are still very Turkish at the core. You have definitely turned into one of the most recognizable faces of Turkish drama and all the emotions such productions bring to the audience. It makes me uncomfortable for them to see me as not me, so I need to focus. I did theater for years but I never wanted to have my parents come, because I needed to just keep working and my personal life separate. I really try to separate my personal life and work, it’s a funny thing, because I’ve done hundreds of TV shows and my wife has only come to see me once. We’re not making it for us, we’re making it for the people to see, so it’s good to see that it’s getting out there.Įrkan, how does it feel for you to be living with your character 24/7?Įrkan: I’m able to separate the two, because otherwise I can’t live my life. Otherwise we can just shoot ourselves on our phones and watch it for ourselves. It’s about getting to as many people as possible, getting the show out. Because it’s not about the money or the fame. I went to edit and straight from editing I got on a plane and I’m here now.Įrkan: It seems all this work we do to reach other people is what gives us energy and motivation to go around 24 hours non-stop and go out there. We’re still in production, so we don’t really have time with that much going on. What has been the reaction of people to this new hit that you’re bringing to the international market?Ĭevdet: I’m actually really happy with the reaction we’ve had and the reception we’ve had. “This is a significant crack in the stained glass ceiling, and the result of sustained advocacy, activism and the witness” of a campaign of Catholic women’s groups demanding the right to vote, said Kate McElwee of the Women’s Ordination Conference, which advocates for women priests.Erkan, Cevdet, you are back together working on the thrilling new drama City of Secrets. The Vatican on Wednesday published the modifications he approved, which emphasize his vision for the lay faithful taking on a greater role in church affairs that have long been left to clerics, bishops and cardinals.Ĭatholic women’s groups that have long criticized the Vatican for treating women as second-class citizens immediately praised the move as historic in the 2,000-year life of the church. VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope Francis has decided to give women the right to vote at an upcoming meeting of bishops, an historic reform that reflects his hopes to give women greater decision-making responsibilities and laypeople more say in the life of the Catholic Church.įrancis approved changes to the norms governing the Synod of Bishops, a Vatican body that gathers the world’s bishops together for periodic meetings, following years of demands by women to have the right to vote.
