Ekeroğlu, who grew up in Berlin, was discovered at a street casting.
In the series Allein gegen die Zeit (Alone Against Time) produced by KIKA, he got the role of the technophile tinkerer Özgür "Özzi" Delikaya, which he also portrayed in the feature film of the series.

Series roles followed in the children's TV series Schloss Einstein and Die Pfefferkörner. In the ZDF TV film Die Kinder meiner Tochter (2013), alongside Mia Kasalo, René Ifrah and Jürgen Prochnow, he portrayed the 15-year-old "pubescent permanent molester" Dilo, who is forced to live with his grandfather, a conservative and strict ex-judge, after the death of his mother.

For cinema, he has previously worked with directors Christian Theede and Florian Schnell, among others, in whose adventure comedy Offline - Das Leben ist kein Bonuslevel (2017) he played the role of "hardcore gamer" Deniz, the best buddy of the main character Jan (Moritz Jahn).

In the 4th season of the hospital series In aller Freundschaft - Die jungen Ärzte (2018), Ekeroğlu took on one of the episode lead roles as chaotic patient Tino Thölsen, who downplays his symptoms of illness and becomes a "tough nut to crack" for the doctors.

He had another episode lead role in the Austrian crime series SOKO Kitzbühel (2019) as the suspected brother of a young Turkish-born widow.

In season 2 of the hospital series In aller Freundschaft - Die Krankenschwestern (2021), he had an episode lead role as Sami Hatem, the younger brother of nurse-in-training Jasmin Hatem (Leslie-Vanessa Lill), who comes to the emergency room with a blind spot.

In the 4th and 5th season of the ZDF series Blutige Anfänger (2022), Ekeroğlu is part of the main cast as police student Umut Gül.
