SARP AKKAYA

Born May 13th 1980

Sarp was born in Istanbul.He has a twin brother Kaya who is also an actor and also an older sister Esre who too is an actress. He graduated from Mimar Sinan University.  He founded The Studio Drama Theatre Ensemble with a school friend Onur Bayraktar.

His first acting experience was as a voice over in the movie Kurtlar Vadisi Irak in 2006. He then went on to TV series Ezel as the character Tefo. In 2010 along with his wife and twin brother he set up an educational acting centre. In 2012 he starred in Suskunlar with Murat Yildirim and Asli Enver. He has also appeared in Magnificent Century and Paramparca plus other TV series and movies. In more recent years all his appearances have mostly been movie work.

In May 2017 Sarp married musician Sinem Yalcinkaya, the guests at the wedding included Kenan Imirzalioglu, Baris Falay, Tolga Santas, Cansu Dere and Asli Enver. There are some fantastic images of the wedding on social media.  He has 272k followers on his Instagram account and he likes to promote not only his own work but his friends work too.

Sarp always plays a secondary role in his TV series but he is a good actor and has such a cheeky smile. I would like to see him again in a TV series as a long standing character.
