Yasin Çam — Biography

Yasin Çam is an actor whom television viewers know as Ercan in the Star TV series Yüksek Sosyete, and who came up on stage through the sketch tradition of BKM Mutfak. Working across theater, commercials, film and television, he joined the cast of Çok Güzel Hareketler Bunlar 2 in 2018 and went on working with that ensemble.

His route into acting began at university. Raised in Milas, in Muğla province, and a graduate of Milas Anadolu Lisesi, he was studying banking at Marmara University when, near the end of his first year, he joined the university's Humor Club and appeared in his first play. By the end of his second year he had decided to become an actor; between 2006 and 2013 he performed in many club productions, directed a few plays and served four years as the club's president. After graduating in banking in 2013 he won a place at the Müjdat Gezen Art Center conservatory, trained there until 2015 and then began appearing in commercials.

His move to the screen came in 2016, when he acted in the film Hesapta Aşk, played Ercan in Yüksek Sosyete, led by Engin Öztürk and Hazar Ergüçlü, and took part early that year in the BKM Mutfak sketch night 4 Çeyrek 1 Tam. The series Nerdesin Birader (2017), Aslan Ailem and Elimi Bırakma (2018) followed. Having met Yılmaz Erdoğan in 2017 and joined the Mutfak team, he regards BKM Mutfak as the most valuable of the schools he has passed through.
