Was it Intentional Playing both Yoruba and English Speaking Role In Movies
My entire carrier i have always wanted to be known as an actor who is versatile, i didn’t want to be stereotyped in anyway so whatever script that is challenging, interesting and informative i would pick it up be it Yoruba or English. I wish i could speak Hausa and Igbo fluently i would be in some of those movies as well.
What Kind of Philosophy Do You Have That Makes You Accepts Whatever Movies and Believe That You Can Still Nail It
In the course of my carrier, i have also being thought to understand and believe that there is no small roles or small actors so however little a role is, it plays an important part in the whole story because a movie is a collection of of different stories, different instances and there are some movies you will watch and it’s just that one scene you remember. So i try to understand and make people understand that as small as the role is, i play it to the best of my knowledge.
How Does Someone Get Best Kiss
Well, as an actor you have to make every role believable. It is make believe
Your Wife Doesn’t mind You Kissing In Movies?
She’s my number 1 fan, she always tells me that. Before i grow in the industry she had always supported me. She understands that it’s not an emotional connection but a professional act.
She understands all the nitigrity as regards our carrier so she has made it easy and free minded for me to go out there and put in my best.
Which Do You Prefer, Movies Or TV Series? How Do You Navigate Both?
I basically started with Spiders by Mrs Ariyeke. In most of those time when we were on set i had learned to carry my line. I tried my best to learn, i didn’t want to stereotype myself.
Do Do You Balance Acting With Family
You cannot separate family from you life neither can you separate your carrier from your life. By that i mean, you do not mix your work into your family nor your family in your work. What i did was, when it was time to work, because i had the support of my wife, i could fully go into it and work and when it’s time to go on vacation with my wife i put work aside.
