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. Golden Sycamore Special Jury" award alongside with many other awards from other organizations.
