Brief Bio

A Story of Craft & Compassion

Award-winning actor, producer, and humanitarian known for his captivating performances and dedication to making a difference.

Can Yaman was born and raised in Istanbul, Turkey. Can's father Güven and mother Güldem divorced when he was five years old. From an early age, his grandmothers were actively involved in his upbringing and care due to his parents' financial difficulties, which were also the reason why his education was mostly covered by scholarships. While he worked in the field of corporate law, he realized that the office life was not for him. During one of his summer holidays, Can traveled to Bodrum, where he met his managers and began his acting career. His first job in show business was the role of an unfaithful husband in the music video of the song "Porselen Dusler" by Gulnur Gokce. Although his first role in a TV series was in Affairs of the Heart (2014), his breakthrough acting role was in Full Moon (2017), which made him internationally well known.

Beyond his acting career, Can Yaman is a passionate advocate for education and environmental causes. He founded the "Can's Foundation" in 2015, which has helped build schools in underprivileged communities across three continents.

His latest project, "Echoes of Tomorrow," is both a critically acclaimed film and a social initiative aimed at promoting climate change awareness.
