Life and career
Erol decided to become a physicist and enrolled in the Physics Department of Boğaziçi University after his high school physics teacher declared to his class that they were not fit to become physicists. Later, he switched to the School of Economics. He subsequently joined the Boğaziçi University Actors Club and appeared in theatre play for a long time before joining Açık Radio in 1997.

In 2008, aside from his career for Stüdyo Oyuncuları, he started to take his own play Karanlık Korkusu to stage and in 2014 played the leading role in Babamın Cesetleri at the Krek Theatre established in Bilgi University.
