How did you get into acting? 

I was doing set and props designing and one day director Pascal Amanfo gave me a scene to play; and this is where I am today. 

In which of the movies and what year? 

For Better For War in 2011; and it was produced by Gupado films. 

For those who don’t know about props, what does it involve? 

When we say props it means items used in films or any production work like guns, food, etc. 

Does it mean you have interest in acting? 

Yes, because I started acting when I was in secondary school. So when I completed I started with some productions but it didn’t work; then I decided to join the crew. I started working as props assistant. I did a lot of productions with my boss. Later, he said he was not interested in it anymore so I became my own boss by the grace of God and some of the actors. 

Acting in school, was it with a group and which school? 

Yes, the school drama group of St Francis Secondary Technical, Akim Oda. I was the first person to take an award for the first play we did in school. I played the role of Oda house boy. 

Acting and props, which is more difficulty to do and why? 

For me props; because it’s too stressful for me. But I love acting so much so I don’t get tired when doing what I love doing—that’s acting. 

So how many movies so far and you tell us some of them? 

Can’t really count but I’m sure it’s over 15 or 20. Single Six, Turn Me On, Bachelors, Devil In A Dress, Accra Runs, Cheaters Book1&2, What My Wife Doesn’t Know, Sisters At War, Last Word (London), Bismark The Joke (London) and If Tomorrow Never Comes. 

Which is your favourite character that you performed in these movies and any reason for it? 

Hmmm! My favourite? I can’t choose because I love every character I play in a movie. I say that because whenever I’m on set acting, I do it as if that’s my first time acting so I do it with all my heart. 

But do you have specific roles that you enjoy? 

Ghetto boy, house boy. I like being myself in a movie.
