MIAMI -Turkish dramas have become a television phenomenon across Latin America, turning actors into international stars and helping reshape primetime programming from Mexico to Argentina. Few performers embody that global reach more than Can Yaman, who now hopes speaking directly to Hispanic audiences will be the next chapter of his career.
As El Turco premiered Tuesday on Telemundo, the Turkish actor sat down for an interview in Spanish with this reporter, a language he learned in just two years after relocating to Spain for a television project. The multilingual star said the effort was about much more than mastering another language.
