Onur Rüzgar Erkoçlar[1] (formerly Nil Erkoçlar; born 26 March 1986) is a Turkish former actor and model.[2]
Erkoçlar debuted with TV adverts as a child. In 2002, he achieved national recognition after an advert of Molped, a sanitary napkin brand. After the advert's popularity, he started to play in the series such as Seni Yaşatacağım, Bütün Çocuklarım, and Emret Komutanım.[2][3][4]
