He made his screen debut in the television series Ruhsar and went on to appear in Yeditepe İstanbul, Koçum Benim and Alacakaranlık.

Diriliş: Ertuğrul and later roles

From 2014 until 2019, Düzyatan starred in the TV series Diriliş: Ertuğrul as the eponymous character on TRT 1. Düzyatan was initially reluctant to accept the role, fearing the show would be “ridiculous”. He read 13th century works such as the Book of Dede Korkut in preparation for the part. Düzyatan called Ertuğrul “a real hero”, and “smart, mature and just”, praising his “vision, strength, purpose in life and all of his values”, and feeling his portrayal was important in providing a Turkish equivalent to Batman and Spider-Man. Düzyatan will appear as Oruç Reis Barbarossa in the Turkish TV series Barbaroslar in 2021.
