Kadir Dogulu is a famous Turkish actor and model. He began his career with the modeling business, where he got by accident, having passed the selection of applicants for work in advertising. Kadir received his first film role in 2010 in the film "Little Secrets." The fame was brought to the actor by the work in the series "The Magnificent Century", where he played the Crimean Khan Mehmed Geray.
Kadir did not dream of an acting career. He planned to become a professional bartender. To do this, he went to Istanbul, but his attempts to make a career and earn decent money ended in failure.
Dogulu was about to return to his hometown of Mersin, but at that moment his fate changed dramatically. The young man was noticed by representatives of the modeling business and was invited to try to pass the selection of candidates for work in advertising. Kadir successfully passed the casting and signed a contract with one of the prestigious agencies of Istanbul.
early years
The biography of the boy began in Turkey, where he was born in the spring of 1982. He was born into a large, poor family, where besides him there were five more boys. My father worked at a construction site, and my mother was engaged in housekeeping and raising sons. There was always not enough money in the family, so children from an early age learned to earn a living on their own.
After graduating from school, Kadir began to look for at least some kind of work in order to have some free money. He began to earn money as a waterman, seller, worker at a construction site, and even for some time was engaged in repairing bicycles.
His dream was to find a job in the restaurant business and become a professional chef or bartender. The young man believed that these professions are very prestigious and highly paid.
Kadir did not even think about an acting career in those years. Together with his friends and brothers, he liked to go to the cinema and to theatrical performances and sometimes only dreamed that a boy from a poor family would someday turn into a star of the screen. But in real life, the young man was more worried about earthly problems and the constant search for suitable work.
After graduating from high school, Kadir's elder brother moved to Istanbul and, having received professional education there, became a stylist. It was he who helped his brother move to the capital and try to find a prestigious job in a bar or restaurant.
Settled down as a bartender, a few months later Kadir realized that here too he would not be able to earn a lot of money and realize his dream. He had already decided to go back to his hometown, but then luck smiled at him. Thanks to his attractive appearance, he got the opportunity to try himself as a model. After casting, Kadir got a job at the agency. From that moment he began to build his creative career.
Film career
Dogulu tried to act in films in 2010. First, he got a small role in the series "Little Secrets." This was followed by work in the comedy “I Have a Story” and in the series “Two Faces of Istanbul”. The attractive appearance of the young actor immediately made him popular with the audience, he began to receive new invitations from producers and directors.
In 2015, the series "The Magnificent Century" was released, where Kadir got the role of the Crimean Khan Mehmed Geray. The series became popular not only in the actor’s homeland, but also far beyond its borders, making Dogulu the star of Turkish cinema.
