Ercan Yazgan — Biography
Necip Ercan Yazgan was born on 4 April 1946 in Sinop and built a long career spanning theatre, film and television. He gained stage experience with companies such as the Tuncay Özinel Theatre and the Ankara Art Theatre before making his film debut in 1963.
Yazgan became widely known for his character roles, including "Şoför İsmet" in Perihan Abla, "Kapıcı Cafer" in Bizimkiler and "Memnun Kaygısız" in Kaygısızlar, and appeared in dozens of films and series over a career of more than five decades, among them the films Balalayka and Bana Masal Anlatma. His exaggerated portrayal of a building caretaker in Kapıcı Cafer drew criticism from doorkeepers' professional associations, which screenwriter Umur Bugay publicly defended. He also lent his support to the 1991 Great Miners' March alongside fellow actors Cihat Tamer and Nedim Doğan.
Yazgan, whose stepdaughter Buket Dereoğlu from his second marriage also appeared with him in Bizimkiler, died on 8 March 2018 in Istanbul from multiple organ failure at the age of 71.
