About Kaan Akyol
Actor. Filmmaker. Veteran. Seeker of what lies beneath the surface.

Welcome to the official site of Kaan Akyol — a Turkish-American performer and storyteller based in the NYC metro area. With a foundation in Meisner technique and training under James Ciccone, Kaan brings depth, precision, and quiet intensity to every role, whether on stage, screen, or behind the camera.

As a filmmaker, Kaan creates stories that explore the liminal — the haunted spaces between grief and revelation, silence and sound. His latest project, Don’t Break the Circle, delves into the paranormal with unnerving intimacy.

A former law enforcement officer and military veteran, Kaan draws on lived experience to ground even the most unearthly tales in emotional truth. Horror, suspense, and the unknown are not just genres — they’re invitations to explore what we fear, and why.

This site is a window into his creative world — part spotlight, part séance. Step in, and stay curious.
