Sarp Akkaya — Biography

Sarp Akkaya is an actor of stage, film, television and voice work, best known as Tevfik (Tefo) in Ezel and Sarı in Suskunlar. In 2026 he is on stage with Leyla Tanlar in the Turkish production of the Broadway play Job. AKKAdemi Theatre, which he founded with his siblings, remains a base for his stage work.

He began acting at twelve with his twin brother Kaya Akkaya in Bizim Aile, graduated from the Mimar Sinan University State Conservatory in 2001 and appeared in plays such as Kaos, Sonra, 6. Gün and Albay Kuş. His first notable screen role was Servet in Kurtlar Vadisi Pusu in 2007; the real breakthrough was Ezel. He then shared the lead with Murat Yıldırım in Suskunlar, played Atmaca in Muhteşem Yüzyıl and Recep Güldağ opposite Mehmet Aslantuğ in Racon, followed by Dragan Ratkoviç in Söz and Sergen Günay in Evlilik Hakkında Her Şey.

In film, Labirent, Kötü Çocuk, Kaybedenler Kulübü Yolda and Warden Nail in 7. Koğuştaki Mucize stand out; more recently he played Enver Pasha in Atatürk 1881-1919 and Tarık in Kalpazan. He sits on the board of the SosyalBen Foundation, and his sister Esra Akkaya is also an actress.

Their work through different eyes

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

If you want to see Sarp Akkaya in fast-moving work, start with Ezel: the series that brought his breakthrough as Tevfik, mixing action and drama. Dragan Ratkoviç in Söz sits in a world of war and adventure, and Servet in Kurtlar Vadisi Pusu on the political-thriller side.

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

Sarp Akkaya's series career sits mostly in the crime and thriller world: Ezel, Suskunlar, Çukur, Kurtlar Vadisi Pusu. In my view this is a list with little variety of genre; four different series in the same world call for a similar tone. Burhan in Ayak İşleri, a web series that mixes action with comedy, is the exception.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

Of Sarp Akkaya's films, Görevimiz Tatil is a comedy built around a mother, her children and a family therapist; it suits watching together. Ezel, Söz and Kurtlar Vadisi Pusu are crime and war series; keep them for adults rather than the little ones.
