Biography
Burak Ozchivit was born in a city on the Turkish coast, but spent his entire childhood in Istanbul. He graduated from the Department of Visual Arts at Marmara University, one of the oldest universities in the country. As a student, he successfully passed the casting at the Ugurkan Erez modeling agency and immediately received the first offers in commercials. The boy was pushed to this decision by his father - he always dreamed of becoming a model, but fate turned out differently. In 2003 and 2005 he was awarded the title of "Best Turkish Model".
First steps in the cinema
The success on the podium opened the door to the world of cinema for Burak Ozchivit. After a couple of cameo roles, he was invited to the movie "Infected". This picture became one of the highest grossing films of 2007 - the collection amounted to more than $ 2 million. The aspiring actor played the main role of Suat, in love with Nurkan. The couple's happy family life was prevented by otherworldly forces.
The next work of the actor was the television series "Husband under duress". Burak played the son of a rich father, Omar, whom his parents forced to marry. The chosen one is also not happy with such an idea - it hurts the spoiled guy, and he decides to fall in love with the girl.
Between 2006 and 2013, Ozchivit starred in six films. His name gradually gained fame and, finally, serious producers noticed him.
The heyday of a film career
In 2013, Ozchivit received an offer to play a character named Bali Bey in the TV series The Magnificent Century. The film is dedicated to the reign of the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire - Suleiman the Magnificent. The charismatic actor appeared on screen in the second and third seasons. His hero, a victorious warrior and seducer of women, was in love with a relative of the Sultan Aibige and his daughter Mihrimah.
The actor succeeded in the image of Bali Bey. Not only in Turkey, but also abroad, the attractive man had many fans, and the film was shown in 48 countries on all continents.
Luck pursued the actor. He received an even more interesting proposal - in the movie "Kinglet - a songbird." This is a remake of a film from the 80s, which was an incredible success. The plot of the film is an intricate love triangle set in the scenery of an old conservative Turkey with its complicated customs and traditions. The novel of the same name from 1921, based on which the film was filmed, became the herald of an era of change in this Muslim country. Critics consider the role of Kamran to be Ozchivit's best work.
Latest films and TV series featuring a movie star
In 2016 Burak began work on a new television series "My Brother", where he will appear in front of TV viewers in the form of the musician Khakan. The brothers are in a protracted quarrel, with which they have to end in order to fulfill the last will of their deceased father. This film was directed by the director of The Magnificent Century, in which Ozchivit took part.
Ozchivit got an interesting role in the film "I will give my life." The actor mostly starred in love melodramas, but in this motion picture he reincarnated as a soldier of the Turkish special forces. On the screen, he sacrifices his life and remains true to his principles even in the harsh conditions of war.
The last work of the actor was in the historical film "Osman Gazi". Burak plays in it Sultan Osman Gazi, the founder of the future great Ottoman empire. This is a very responsible role - the sultan is a significant figure in the history of Turkey. The whole country, with bated breath, waited for the casting results. The choice of Burak Ozchivit met the expectations of the audience. The actor has already appeared in a historical role in The Magnificent Century, after which he gained a lot of fans. Filming began in 2019, with a total of five seasons planned.
Hobbies: cars and football
In an interview for the magazine "Bizimizmir" Burak admitted that if he had not chosen an acting career, he would have taken up professional football. He always liked to work in a team and to benefit the common cause, and not only for himself. He himself is a fan of the Fenerbahce club from Istanbul.
A man likes to spend his free time in a garage with vintage cars. Sometimes he writes stories and his own scripts. After the birth of a child, the actor has almost no time for a hobby.
Burak Ozchivit's wife and children
The actor had been dating another girl for four years - Ceylan Chapa. Their relationship went to the wedding, but suddenly the beautiful Fahriye Evcen, a Turkish actress with German roots, stood between the couple. Young people became close on the set of "Love is like you", although they had known each other by that time for two years. The actors worked together many times on the set, but remained only good friends.
The romantic and tumultuous relationship of one of the most attractive couples in Turkish cinema ended in a wedding. And two years later, the girl gave birth to a son - the boy was named Karan. He was born on April 3.
