DRAFTING W/ BORAN KUZUM

---

One of Turkey’s most recognizable actors, Boran Kuzum enters a new spotlight with Dan Levy’s comedic thriller Big Mistakes — a dysfunctional family story colliding with the world of organized crime. Marking Levy’s first scripted series since Schitt’s Creek, the show has already been framed as a “crime show for the girls and the gays,” placing Kuzum at the center as Yusuf, a Turkish gangster.

The role lands as both a departure and a continuation for Kuzum. He’s been a constant across some of Turkey’s biggest titles — from Thank You, Next to The Protector — building a career on range and moving between genres without ever feeling locked into one. Big Mistakes reframes that versatility on a wider stage, sharpening his presence for a broader audience.

Kuzum opens up his phone for DRAFTING, sharing recent notes, screenshots and dinner reservations — all part of the personal process that leads to the actor’s on-screen performance.

Kind reminder to yourself.

Forever.

Pure white heart, good wishes, smile and Turkish protection from bad energy.
