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. Denizhan Akbaba was born September 3, 2001 in Istanbul, Turkey. 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). Roger Waters was The Four Walls (2021)'s producer. Akbaba began attracting the attention of directors, who cast him in small roles in a number of television series, such as Içerde (2016) and The Magnificent Century (2011). He gained a lot of attention with the character with autism in the series A Miracle (2019), in which he played. His performance in Girl with No Mouth (2019) brought him "7.
