Film and Stage Project

My acting could be best described as a coin; when on face opens the other face sort of closes. Yeah. While I'm on stage and another while am on television. I'm still trying strike the balance.

Career first started on stage for me before television. After Papa Bush Fowel, I got more elaborate roles in our subsequent stage production. Can't remember them all now but if there is two I will never in Mr. Benson, King Ashaka. I would never forget the first film I featured in Little Devil, written and Directed by Maro Idukwo.

Most prominent role so far is Words on marble and Replica directed by David Akwara and Jim Anneh respectively.
