- He started his film career at the age of 8. He has appeared in theatre, film, and television. Few young actors have the career and experience that Denizhan has. Akbaba got off to a relatively modest start as a supporting actor in the sitcom The Merry Nest (2010).
Denizhan Akbaba was born September 3, 2001 in Istanbul. He started performing in the theatre at the age of 12. For three years, he performed in plays. He underwent numerous tours as a result. He played at the Dortmund Theater, and that was his best performance. From the crowd, he received a perfect score. He played in this particular theatrical play for the first time as a child actor. He was in Bahman Ghobadi's last film The Four Walls (2021). Growing up in and around the entertainment world it was not long before Denizhan's talent was spotted and he was encouraged to try acting professionally.
In 2018, Denizhan scored lead feature film role in the coming of age story Girl with No Mouth (2019). Denizhan was also not one of the first names that were considered for this movie. His performance during the subsequent auditions helped him land the part. Additionally, he claimed that playing a character without eyes is intriguing. He made two other movies in the meantime, Ela with Hilmi and Ali and The Four Walls (unreleased). His first medium-length movie, which he co-wrote and directed with his twin, Emirhan Akbaba, was released in 2020. Denizhan was featured in Last Summer (2021), a Netflix film.
In 2022, he burst back into screens throughout the world with guest starring role in Who Were We Running From? (2023), a Netflix TV Series. As someone who has gone from small roles in television shows to one of the most respected actors in Turkey, Denizhan has had one of the most diverse careers in cinema. He broke out in Ela with Hilmi and Ali (2022) leading role as Ali, the doorman's son, who flunked for the second time at school. Denizhan's role as Ali received significant critical acclaim, and he was nominated for the International Istanbul Film Festival for Best Actor, and the Golden Boll Award for Best Actor.

- [on playing Ali in Ela with Hilmi and Ali (2022)] In the process of developing Ali, we made an effort to create a portrait that was significantly different from Denizhan. I had experience playing a boy who used foul language on stage when I was 12 years old. Thus, achieving naturalness was not difficult.
- On his career: My acting career began when I was a little child, when I imitated movie characters with my twin, Emirhan Akbaba. I then began appearing in TV shows via the agency. The people who helped me the most throughout this journey were my family.
