TV Series

Kaan has been performing in Turkish television dramas since 2004. Two series in which he has played major roles, Fatmagül'ün Suçu Ne? and Diriliş: Ertuğrul, have received significant international attention.[21][22] He commented on the international interest in Turkish productions during a July 2020 interview:

Translation: "We have Hollywood in English; I do not know what the equivalent will be, but I think we have the power to turn it [Turkish TV] into a brand. Yes, our works should be sold, but I strongly believe that we should make art in our native language. This includes television."[23]

Before joining Uyanis: Büyük Selcuklu as Markus, Kaan had not been seen in a series for a year and a half. Although he had offers, he had not found a role he felt comfortable accepting, and articulated some observations on the current male TV roles:

Translation: "Especially this season, I find the positioning of men in the TV series very sexist. That is why I continue to read because I feel a bit responsible in this regard, prefer to avoid such things and be in a more balanced job." [24]

During the same interview, he expressed interest in the opportunity to perform a role for the first time.
