Long time comic actor, Charles Awurum, has revealed, that, he never planned to go into comedy as an actor, adding that the career forced itself on him.
In a recent interview with Punch, he speaks about his journey into the movie industry, he said at the initial stage, he wanted to be a comic actor but he was not given the opportunity he needed because people thought his face was not friendly.
“When I started my career as an actor, I was interested in comedy but they told me my face was too stern. Eventually, I got into comedy by force. I never wanted to stick to comedy; my aim was to be a versatile actor,” he said.
Also, ahead of the upcoming 2019 elections, the actor urged Nigerians to have the best interest of the country at heart as they exercise their civic duty.
“Nigerians should have the country’s interest at heart in all that they do towards the upcoming elections. If we all put our heads together to make sure things go right in the country, Nigeria will be better.
For example, the state of the economy does not favour the movie industry at the moment; the entertainment industry is going down. We pray that the government would realise that the industry has the potential to generate revenue for the country.
We are not telling them to give us money to produce movies; all we want for them is an enabling and convenient environment for us to make quality films,” he told Saturday Beats.
