Nollywood is Nigeria's film Industry,supossedly the 2nd or 3rd largest producer of films in the world!
Nollywood churns out a lot of movies I mean alooooooooooot! I mean there was a time I wrote down a list of movies that were to be released in a week and that I would watch them but I couldn't just keep up because the next week another set of maybe another 30 were again released into the market.
I guess I have accepted that I cannot catch up with every Nollywood Film. :(
Not to digress, I have noticed some fantastic actors whom in my opinion have been very underrated in terms of their craft and mainstream acceptance..
And ermmm in the light of "Lists" causing problems these days I do not mean any disrespect,I am just simply saying you all deserve more for your craft!
So Leggo!
1) BIMBO MANUEL
Bimbo is a veteran, a fantastic actor in all rights! I am not sure if its is a personal decision of his to appear in few productions but I do not think he is given all the prominence that he deserves. Bimbo is one of the actors I want to see more of.
2) SAM DEDE
I still remember sam Dede from the Movie "Issakaba" I wasnt so bothered when the movie had about 4 parts.. I wanted to watch it all..
Sam Dede came from a lecturing Background into Nollywood,which he has reportedly returned to..
He is one of the greats and I believe he deserves much more credit.
3) GBENGA RICHARDS
I havent seen alot of Gbenga Richards in Movies,I know he's been in a couple of series like mirror in the sun, and lots of movies,but it seems his capacity is very much under utilized. I hope Nollywood can take note and utilize more actors stop with the recycling already!.
4) FEMI BRANCH
I first noticed Femi's work on the soap "Domino" and I was looking forward to very big things for him,but he seems to have just been stereotyped into acting loverboy in most Yoruba films..
I sincerely think his talent is largely underrated.
5) KALU IKEAGWU
Kalu I also noticed his craft from series' like Domino,Tinsel and the likes.
I don't think he has been "mainstreamlised"
Dear Nollywood stop underestimating your talents
