Akin Gazi is akin to Anthony Quinn, Giancarlo Giannini, Javier Bardem, Colin Farrell, and Clive Owen in that he is a sexy, swarthy performer. The London-born babe owes his exotic looks to his Turkish Cypriot parents. After studying English and Drama at Queen Mary University of London, the gorgeous grad hit Britain’s boob tube. Through the years, Akin scored parts in miniseries (The Path to 9/11, 10 Days to War, The Trials of Jimmy Rose); guest spots on hits (The Bill, Skins, Doctor Who, Law & Order: UK) and recurring roles on other popular shows (Silent Witness, Prison Break, Unforgotten). The small screen star also portrayed Bayezid on the Starz fantasy Da Vinci’s Demons (2014-2015) and Rashid on the historical saga Knightfall (2017-2018). Meanwhile, he could be seen on the big screen in the international flicks The Devil’s Double (2011) and The Cut (2014). In between, the hardworking hottie lent his sizzling presence to the war drama Black Gold (2011) and the biopic Desert Dancer (2013). Gazi also thrilled audiences in the thrillers Zero Dark Thirty (2012) and Close (2019). The latter is based on a female bodyguard who protected author J.K. Rowling. This make sense since Akin was in Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016). When it comes to fantastic chests and where to find them, check out Gazi’s topless turn on the British sitcom Chewing Gum (2015) wherein he shows off his built bod while donning nothing but his underwear. Obviously, Chewing Gum will make you sticky!
