He was first noted with his role in Ağır Roman, which went on stage at Sadri Alışık Theatre. He then joined Yılmaz Erdoğan's BKM Group and was cast in a small role in Organize İşler. He then had roles in the series Anadolu Kaplanı and En Son Babalar Duyar. Apak also played in the children's play Sizinkiler Dünya Kaç Bucak and went on tour across Turkey.

In October 2015, Apak was sentenced to 10 months in prison for "using drugs" according to the decision of the Istanbul 19th Central Criminal Court, and was acquitted of the charge of "establishing, managing and being a member of a drug ring". The court postponed the sentence as the prison sentence was less than a year.^[3]
