Actor, Stan Nze has said COVID-19 made many actors re-evaluate their lives .The talented role interpreter noted that the pandemic made him take out time to study and work on his craft.
“COVID-19 made me and other actors take the backseat and re-evaluate our lives. It enabled me to take some me-time to study and do more training. The pandemic made it clear to me that if I took one day to rest, the world would not stop moving”, he told Bellanaija.
Asked about the kind of actors he looks forward to working with, he said:”Mike Ezuruonye, Ramsey Noah, Mercy Johnson, Genevieve Nnaji, Onyeka Onwenu and Richard Mofe-Damijo. I still look forward to working with Richard Mofe-Damijo so that he can fashion my career a bit more”.
Nze also said he is not under any pressure to play any kind of role, adding that he takes the decision
“For me, I decide the kind of roles I want to play at any time.
I started of with comedy, but I knew I had more. When I felt it was time to change the narrative I started yearning for drama. “The Encounter”, where I had to play a deadly soldier, was what changed the narrative from “that funny boy” to “that wicked boy”.
“Sometime last year, I decided I didn’t want to be stereotyped as a “bad boy” anymore, and so I started to take on more “sweet boy” roles. So you should expect a “sweet bad boy” from Ahanna.
Being a producer also makes changing the narrative easier. When I want to be seen in a certain way, I produce films in the same light and take the opportunity to explore that character”.
