I always wonder why these stars don't get the props they deserve in the Ghaniaan movie industry.
Kofi Adjolol- This man is amazing in terms of versatility. He can act from the concerned parent to a deranged monster,yet he is hardly talked about. I am glad that Nollywood has taken notice of him and is featuring him more in their movies.
Martha Arthur. She stare in Odo Beni with Van Vicker (for those who follow Van Vikcer
). Wonderful actress with eloquence far beyond that of our three musketeers-yet she hardly gets leading roles in blockbuster movies. I have never seen her perform substandard in a movie. Truly gifted actor.
Portia Boateng-well she is not really underrated, but I would like to see her in more highprofile/blockbuster movies. I cringe to think producers are passing her up for more wooden actresses solely based on colour or facial appearence.
Omar Shariff Captan- better overall actor than Majid or Van Vicker but has not really starred in many high profile films. I remember him in Sweety and he completely vanished. He has done more films of recent, but he has more to offer the industry than he is currently being afforded. Acting just seems to come natuarlly to him- no fakeness, stiffness or pretence.
Ecow Smith Asante-Apart from the criticsm he gets for looking like a drunkard or having drunkard lips
he is a joy on the screen. He always seems to bring maturity to the scenes he does. In Darkness of Sorrow I loved his cool and collected manner. Yet, he is usually forgotten when people talk about Mummy's Daughter, Darkness of Sorrow, and other movies he starred with the three musketeers. I hope to see him in a leading role someday.
Feel free to add your own or comment on the ones I have.
