Nollywood is Growing ,scriptwise,picture
quality, direction, acting, props, and other film
making fields..However, the way actors are
being typecasted in Nollywood movies seems
irreversible and on the increase these days..
A particular actor is always playing a
particular or very similar type of role in every
movie..No diversion, No surprise,once you see
the actor, you know the Kind of role he or she
would play in the movie ??

The like of Jim iyke is always playing the bad
boy,player, armed robber or gangstar..Olu
Jacobs is always d King,father or father in law,
Gentle jack is always the Bodyguard, Nkem
owoh never gets to play a serious role,Guys
are always fighting over Mercy Johnson and
Tonto dikeh is always a prostitute or barren
wife..

Patience ozokwor is always the evil
doer ,Ngozi Ezeonu is always the girls Rich
Mother,Omoni oboli is always the wife or wife
sister and Yul Edochie is always returning
from Lagos to the village,Chiwetalu agu is
always a Chief and Aki and Pawpaw are
always the Children...

We are tired of saying same actors in same
roles, let them do something new....Let Jim
iyke play a pastor,Jackie appiah a mad
woman, INI Edo play a Lecturer.. This are the
things that spice up a Movie and give Viewers
that suspense they need..Nollywood I hope
you work on this..
