Actor Erdem Yılmaz stated that the path to his acting career was laid in his childhood and said, “I was a hyperactive and mischievous child, and I was not very successful at school. My mom and dad used to send me to events so that I could throw out my extra energy. First they sent me to football, but I became the worst ball player in the world. Then, after basketball, piano, guitar, I went to the theater last. I was stuck in the theater who couldn't be incapable of holding anything. I say there is something different here. That's when I decided to do this job."
