Erol was born in 1989, Adana, Turkey. He raised in Adana, Turkey from where he received a full scholarship to attend the University of Okan in Istanbul, studying hotel management. But Erol's time at university found him more attracted to performance and theatre, and he turned his back on his formal studies to audition in drama schools. With his parents dead-against his new career choice, Erol packed up and headed for Germany, without a plan or much knowledge of German. Within a short time he got a grip on the language, and impressed the Head of Drama at the prestigious Folkwang University of Arts to allow Erol to participate as an actor and assistant in various productions. He since landed theatre rolls with the Ballhaus Theatre, MAxim Gorki Theatre and makes his film debut in Anthony Maras' "The Palace".
