haha, and the way he laughs is really cool

Handsome old man but he is overrated in his acting prowess.

Stereotyped to a great point of being boring. Talks too slow like he's scared of missing his lines even when I know he speaks fine.

I love me some Chief Pete Edochie,the best actor in Africa. I just keep loving this man more and more. I wish he could take part in a yoruba movie,i want to hear him speak yoruba,but he once acted in Oduduwa alongside Rachael Oniga

Forget joor,the man speaks with action,he acts like those rich men that speak slowly,he's one of the few actors in English speaking movies that act and make you feel like it's real life and not movie

mind you,Olu Jacob is the most overrated actor ever,Nigerians just love to overrate people that were doing it in UK or US before coming home to continue,he's that much over rated because he was once an actor in UK,i don't know why people say he's so good,there is nothing special about his acting skills,his acting in English speaking films is just alright,his acting in Yoruba film is poor,even the new boys in Yoruba film act much better than him in yoruba speaking films.
Conclusion: Pete Edochie is much better than overrated Olu Jacob
