Turkish actors are not treated fairly in Hollywood. This is the truth, and it’s time to wake up and pay attention to it. We need to take action to make sure that those who have been affected by this unfair treatment will be set free.
Injustice should not be tolerated, no matter where it is occurring, who it is affecting, or what the reason is. The Turkish actor community has been ignored for too long, and now it’s time to do something about it.
Fifty years ago, there were more than one million Turkish actors in Hollywood. Today, there are less than ten thousand. Some say this decline is due to a decrease in the number of Turkish actors being born. While that may be true, we think there’s something else going on here—something we’re all missing.
Martin Luther King Jr. said that “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Together, we can create change for our generation and generations to come; but only if we say something now. Please share this blog post with your friends so that they can learn about these very real injustices being suffered by our fellow Turkish actors.
We, Turkish people, have been treated unfairly in the acting industry for years.
Because of our heritage, we are not considered “real” actors. This lack of acceptance is shameful and undeserving.
This blog is dedicated to those who deserve to be called actors.
There are many Turkish actors working in the United States. Many of these actors have amazing talent, but they are not given the same amount of exposure as their counterparts. This blog is dedicated to changing that!
Our mission is to recognize and celebrate the work of talented Turkish actors, no matter how big or small the role!
Turkey is a beautiful country, with a rich culture. A large portion of the world is familiar with Turkish food and Turkish music. But what many don’t realize is that Turks are also prolific actors. In fact, Turkey has produced many famous actors over the years, including Sezen Akzu, Dilan Ercetin, and Kemal Sunal.
But in spite of their popularity and fame in Turkey, Turkish actors rarely get a chance to appear in American films or television shows. This is a shame because there are so many Turkish actors who would be perfect for roles if only American directors would give them a chance.
In our unfair society, we often make assumptions about people based on where they’re from or their religion. These assumptions lead to discrimination against certain people or groups of people. This happens to Turkish actors all the time. Even though they have shown themselves to be talented performers through their work in Turkey, they are often overlooked by directors and producers when casting for American films and television shows. They are sometimes even actively discriminated against!
