Sarp Apak — Biography

Kerim Sarp Apak was born on November 11, 1981, in Diyarbakır and relocated with his family to Bursa as a child. After finishing Bursa Erkek High School, he graduated in 2004 from the Acting Department of Dokuz Eylül University's Faculty of Fine Arts, then moved to Istanbul on his teacher's encouragement, performing at the Sadri Alışık Theatre and joining Yılmaz Erdoğan's BKM troupe.

He entered film with a small part in Organize İşler and, after series such as En Son Babalar Duyar and Anadolu Kaplanı, achieved nationwide fame as Tanrıverdi in the sitcom Avrupa Yakası. He went on to appear in Kavak Yelleri and Gülse Birsel's comedies Yalan Dünya and Jet Sosyete, where he played Ozan Özpamuk, and in 2021 he portrayed Mahir in the drama Kaderimin Oyunu.

His film credits include Beyaz Melek, Plajda, 7 Kocalı Hürmüz, Güneşi Gördüm, Aşk Geliyorum Demez, Yeraltı, Karışık Kaset and Yaktın Beni, as well as the hit comedy Ölümlü Dünya and its sequel Ölümlü Dünya 2. More recently he appeared in İyi Bir Aile Değiliz and Efes'in Sırrı, and performs on stage in the play Bir Aile Provası.

Their work through different eyes

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

Sarp Apak's series career is built largely inside Gülse Birsel's comic world: Tanrıverdi Ekşioğulları in Avrupa Yakası, Emir Danışman in Yalan Dünya, Ozan Özpamuk in Jet Sosyete. Tanrıverdi introduced him to a wide audience; the next two sitcoms feel like extensions of the same style, and in my view they are not places where Apak tries something different. Mahir in Kaderimin Oyunu is the more interesting departure.

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

For viewers who know Sarp Apak from sitcoms, his cinema draws a different picture. He is Reşat in Mahsun Kırmızıgül's Beyaz Melek, Ahmet in the same director's Güneşi Gördüm and the barman in Zeki Demirkubuz's Yeraltı: all three sit in drama and melodrama, far from comic reflex. These films say more about where Apak can go beyond comedy than the sitcoms do.
