Ozan Akbaba — Biography

Ozan Akbaba, a Turkish actor and film composer, is best known as İlyas Çakırbeyli in the ATV series Eşkıya Dünyaya Hükümdar Olmaz, a role he played from 2015 to 2021. He now plays Cihan Albora in Uzak Şehir on Kanal D, whose third-season shoot took the cast to Budapest in the summer of 2026.

He performed in stage plays while studying interior architecture and environmental design at Akdeniz University's Faculty of Fine Arts, then moved toward acting and music rather than architecture. His screen path began with Kırık Kanatlar; he played a bartender in Kavak Yelleri, Zafer in Cennetin Sırları and Sümer Tezkan in Kuzey Güney. In 2013-2014 he played Şenol in Güldür Güldür and Dr. Veysel in Arka Sokaklar, and Selçuk in the film Sürgün İnek. He played Ali in Abluka, İlyas Çakırbeyli again in Aman Reis Duymasın and Murat in Anka, and took the lead in the medical series Kasaba Doktoru.

On the music side he has composed for about 25 short films and more than 30 promotional films, and he wrote and assistant-directed the short Bumerang. In 2014 he appeared in Sıla's video for "Vaziyetler". More recently he has been in the films Sadık Ahmet, Sırr Bir Kudüs Macerası and Bak Postacı Geliyor.

Their work through different eyes

Series Binger A series devotee tracking character arcs, cast chemistry and season pacing.

In Eşkıya Dünyaya Hükümdar Olmaz, İlyas Çakırbeyli over 199 episodes is Ozan Akbaba's best-known work; anyone who wants character growth spread over seasons should begin there. For a shorter start there is Kasaba Doktoru: two seasons, 32 episodes, Akbaba in the lead as Hakan Aydıner. Cihan Albora in Uzak Şehir asks for a harder tone.

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

Aman Reis Duymasın takes İlyas Çakırbeyli from Eşkıya Dünyaya Hükümdar Olmaz into a holiday comedy: Ozan Akbaba's character now runs from one mishap to the next. In my view the series' tension goes slack in the move; a world driven by a fresh showdown nearly every episode becomes a chain of accidents.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

Ozan Akbaba's film choices are wider than his television image as İlyas Çakırbeyli: Selçuk in the village satire Sürgün İnek, Ali in Emin Alper's drama Abluka, set amid street-level political unrest, Murat in Anka. In my view his films test him in three different tones.
