Nollywood star, Joseph Momodu has acknowledged that receiving assistance in the film industry is exceedingly challenging.
In an interview with Sunday Scope, Joseph reportedly discussed how he almost quit the film business as a result of being undermined and cast in stereotypical roles.
He said, “The journey has not been smooth, it was actually rough. However, I thank God for His mercies. If not for his grace, I would have opted out of the industry a long time ago because people are not willing to help. Once they see that you talented, they would want to pull you down.”
Nollywood type casts actors. I used to be stereotyped as a lover boy in Nollywood. However, I have played other roles convincingly as well. And that has made producers and directors see the range of what I can offer. I have also acted as both a wicked and gullible husband. I am no longer stereotyped” he added.
