Nollywood actor, Sam Anyamele broke into the movie world when he starred in Wale Adenuga Production’s Super Story. The actor in a recent interview disclosed that he decided to take a break from acting because he decided not to tie his future to Nollywood.
According to him: “ I have always thought about the next phase of life. So when I discovered in Nollywood that decisions were generally driven by sentiments and prospective actors were given roles on a movie simply on the basis of their looks, I decided that it was not the kind of place I should depend on for the rest of my life. As a pragmatic Nigerian, I had to think seriously about doing other things.I found out that many of those who made decisions for the industry, who spoke to the government on our behalf in those days, were not really core practitioners. That encouraged me to go back to school and get more education.”
When asked to share his opinion about a period in Nollywood when movie marketers banned some prominent actors, he said:”That was when my fears about Nollywood were confirmed and I made up my mind not to tie my future to the industry.”
