He shared that a movie director he met during his early days of acting tried to discourage him because of his skin color.
The movie director, whose name he withheld, told him that he could not be an actor because he is an albino.
“When I was coming into Nollywood, I had a major director who I will not mention his name. He looked at me and said, ‘Why do you want to be an actor? How many albinos do you find as actors? It’s not a place for you to be.’ Ogusin shared.
Nigerian albino actor: He was very determined!
He however, shared that he had been doing theater from his primary school days till university, so he didn’t let the director’s comment get to him.
The ‘GoldFish’, as he is fondly called, said he has always been passionate about theater.
To further buttress his point, he stated that he doesn’t think his “beautiful skin” can stop him from achieving his dreams.
The Nigerian albino actor said his determination to become an actor made him resign from his banking job and join Nollywood.
Now it has been six years since he decided to take up professional acting, and he has no regrets whatsoever
