What has been the most challenging role you’ve played in a movie?
To me every movie comes with a challenge of its own, and the challenge is the actor himself because for him to interpret certain roles to the taste of the producer is a challenge. For instance you being a good person and asked to be play the role of an armed robber, you been a mechanic in real life and ask to play the role of a doctor. I wouldn’t say a movie is that challenging to me because I keep on playing different roles that at the end of the day, I just wondered if I was actually the person who did that.

Later I developed interest in the movie business and have always waited for the day when I would be able to appear before the screen and show to the world that I have got talent.

You have been known with the English genres of movie, why the sudden swap into the Yoruba speaking movies?
It is not a matter of moving from the English genres to the Yoruba, to be me I believe as an actor, you should be versatile as this broadens your ability to feature in other movies across the country. Most Indian actor you see today don’t even speak English language, rather they do better in their own genres. My ability to do well in both genres should not be seen as me leaving the English side of the movie industry completely for the Yoruba.

University of Benin, have over the years been associated with relatively large cult incident, what is your say on this issue?
Denying the fact that my school was known for cult activities does not mean that I was a cult member because then, my fellow colleagues also had that thinking that I was member, probably because of the way I dress and my attitude.

Why is that often time you play the bad boy role in movies?

Let me tell you this that the society also understand this because you cannot have everybody playing the good roles all through a movie, some people have to be bad when the need arises. I am a versatile actor, I can play any role but not to the extent of being nude. In a nut shell, I would say 80% of the roles I play are the bad boy and I enjoy doing it, maybe because I have got the look and posture but I should not be judged by that. I am a good guy but on set I am bad depending of the role to play.
