Ebbe Bassey Exposes Her Talent to The World

Potential From Despondency: Actress Ebbe Bassey Exposes Her Talent to The World
By LINDA A. ANNAN

If personality were a key casting attribute in the world of acting many of today’s endowed performers would be at the center stages of theaters. One can deduce that the sometimes flaky realm of theater only leaves room for the passionate to stand, because without fervor, perseverance would be left on wobbly ground. Just a short dialogue with Nigerian/American actress Ebbe Bassey, a woman with definite personality, draws one into a fun, cheery territory that seems to compliment the artistry that bore her new short film, Siri Oko Fo, debuted at the 2008 Cannes International Film Festival.

“Desperation,” she says, of what inspired the film. “You get tired of waiting for the phone to ring; you get tired of going in for a casting call and not getting it because maybe there’s a named person that they want.”

And possessing such distinct trait as her heritage becomes an encumbrance from time to time. “I have authentic Nigerian accent, but I still am told, ‘You don’t look African” because in their mindset, an African looks like a Sudanese, you’ve got to be really dark,” she explains.
