Nollywood actor, Zack Orji, reveals what he has been doing off the stage, in this interview with GBENGA ADENIJI
Consistency
is one of the features of the acting industry. In fact, the majority of
its players know that being regular faces, coupled with a good
talent, can considerably earn them roles while also winning them a fair
share of movie lovers.
But for Zack Orji, who has been in the
trade for some time, the fact is that he has not been regular on the
screen because he is currently concentrating on a much practical aspect
of movie-making.
Orji says, “I am not retiring from acting. It is
true that I have not been active on screen because I have been involved
in a project which involves teaching people different aspects of acting;
costuming, lightning designing, cinematography and so on.’’
He
explains that he has been doing a kind of itinerant training in the
areas in collaboration with another production outfit for various zones
in the Niger-Delta.
Orji, who states that they act as consultants
to the Niger Delta Ministry, adds that the training will also take place
soon in South Africa and Canada.
The actor further says he has
just starred in three films that have yet to be released. But when
prodded into giving the titles of the films, Orji says, ‘‘ I cannot
mention them all now but I can tell you that Half of A Yellow Sun is one of them.’’
