Metin Akpınar was born in Aksaray, Istanbul in 1942 and finished Pertevniyal High School. He graduated from the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Letter at Istanbul University. He started acting at the age of 20 with an amateur dramatics society. He started his professional career in 1964 in the Ulvi Uras Theatre with the play “Gözlerimi Kaparım Vazifemi Yaparım” following performances in several leading theatre productions. In 1967 he co-founded the Devekuşu Theatre, Turkey′s first cabaret theatre. His film career took off in 1972, when he acted in the first of several Ertem Egilmez comedies to follow. Soon after Akpınar developed an enduring screen partnership with the actor and director, Zeki Alasya, the two gaining popularity as a pair of comic dimwits. It was only in the 1990s that Akpınar, by now an experienced actor, broke away and decided to go his own way in film, theatre and television. In 1998 Akpınar was awarded the title of State Artist by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism. In 2011, he was awarded "Cinema Honorable Award" in the 30th Istanbul Film Festival.
