There was a time, not too long ago, when acting was seen as a profession for never-do-wells in the society but notion has since been discarded. Actors now include intellectuals, professors, doctorate degree holders and others who find the passion to get on stage or screen too hard to resist. Here’s a list of actors who also teach the art in university as well as university lecturers turned actors.


1. Gbenga Windapo


Windapo is a prolific actor and comedian who recently acted alongside 2face, Ali Baba and many others in Baba Dee’s movie, Head Gone.

Gbenga Windapo founded the comedy group, Lafomania which had Saka and many other comedians as members.

Obviously the Op posted names of mostly yoruba actors who he's sure of. Down east, there are Igbo actors who are also lecturers in different schools. I know a certain lecturer in Unizik theartre arts dept. who is a nollywood actor though i can't remember his name. Prof. Laz Ekwueme, the traditional ruler of Oko community in Anambra state is also an actor.
