Many of today's beloved television personalities, encompassing a wide range of actors, didn't start off in the limelight. They embarked on their careers in entirely different series, some being relegated to supporting characters, while others sparkled in minor roles that largely went unnoticed. However, these initial steps paved the way for their current success. From Kaan Urgancıoğlu to Neslihan Atagül, and from Halit Ergenç to Fahriye Evcen, you might be taken aback when you discover the debut series of many celebrities, prompting you to question, 'Was that really them?'

The legendary TV show 'Yaprak Dökümü' and its character Ferhunde, portrayed by Deniz Çakır, has recently resurfaced on social media due to an interview she gave years ago. Deniz Çakır had revealed the characters she would have liked to play if she hadn't been Ferhunde in 'Yaprak Dökümü'. This confession by Çakır spread rapidly across social media.

You must surely remember Hazal Şenel, who played the character 'Kıvılcım' in 'Selena' and 'Salça' in 'Pis Yedili'. The actress, whom we haven't seen in any TV series project for a long time, held a Q&A session on her Instagram account. In response to the question 'Why did you quit acting?', she voiced her rebellion against the monopoly in the industry.

'Semiçenk', one of the most popular names in recent times, had their song 'Sen Kaldın' featured in Kanal D's popular TV series 'Eşref Rüya'. The moment of anticipation as Semiçenk watched the episode was captured by a friend and shared on social media.

In the local series we watch, some actors portraying foreign characters elevate their acting skills to such an extent that we can mistake them for being foreign. A trend related to this issue has emerged on X. Posts by X users listing actors who were genuinely believed to be foreign while playing a foreign character quickly went viral.
