What is your reason to be an actor: popularity or intrinsic satisfaction for touching upon people’s lives?
Şükrü Özyıldız: Popularity is a big trap. I suggest my friends who just start acting not to fall into that trap. Here, the popularity is not an ultimate aim, it is a side effect. To touch upon other people’s lives is very important. Without speaking, to say “I feel what you feel” is valuable. Acting is a way of sharing and empathy.

I live in Canada and speak only English. Please find a way to have your work translated on Netflix and UTube. I have watched Winter Sun 11 times and would very much like to see and understand all your other work. I emailed Nescafé in the United States and gave them your name and told them about your advertisement in Turkey. If you could get your work translated to English you would have millions of fans in North America. Thank you for giving me so much pleasure and happiness.
Sukru already has millions of fans in the United States! I agree that he should promote more English translations of his work. He is one of the best actors I have ever seen. His smile lights up the room and the depth of emotion he portrays is beyond any actor of our time. He is so uplifting in his interviews, so down to earth and so beloved by his fans. This is a man of many talents who is an inspiration to so many.

Sukru, you have touched my heart in unimaginable ways, not only with your performances, but in getting to know the real you through interviews and articles. Your smile lights up a room and that signature wink and raising of your eyebrows… there are no words to express how this affects your admirers. Choose wisely in life dear Sukru. You are loved more than you know, I am sure by your family, friends, and fans. Looking forward to your future work. I am planning a trip to Turkey next year and hope you will still be in Alice Musikali or doing some publicity tours where fans can meet you. My dream is to simply meet you in person. Stay safe, well, and find happiness in all you do. Much love and respect for you.
