In a sequence from the 1976-dated cult comedy movie "Hababam Sınıfı Sınıfta Kaldı," Tarık Akan (R) is seen with Halit Akçatepe (L) and Kemal Sunal (C), who also shocked Turkish cinema enthusiasts with his untimely death in 2000.
Between 1970 and 1975, Akan starred in 12 films and made a name for himself in "the brightest period of Yeşilçam." Akan played the character "Damat Ferit" in director Ertem Eğilmez's cinema adaptation of Rıfat Ilgaz's "Hababam Sınıfı" (Chaos Class), which is called one of the best films and comedies in Turkish cinema history. He also starred in the 1975 film "Ah Nerede" (Oh, Where is He) alongside Gülşen Bubikoğlu and became one of the most sought after stars of Yeşilçam in the 70s.
He garnered huge fame with movies like the "Bizim Aile" (Our Family) and "Mavi Boncuk" (Blue Bead) that brought him together with the finest comedy actors at the time. He often portrayed the handsome, charming figure of the gang. Akan was also the leading character in various romance movies of the time. He acted in 111 movies as well as in four TV series throughout his career.
Starting from 1977, Akan took roles in more politically-motivated films that portrayed the problems in daily life in rural Anatolia, which brought him international recognition.
