Is like olu Jacobs is the first nigerian actor to feature in Hollywood movies.

Nope.

One other man acted with former US President Ronald Reagan link before Olu Jacobs.

Reference:
Yeah, watched this a long time ago. One of the film adaptations of Frederick Forsyth's iconic, grounded storytelling.

Didn't quite like the novel or the film adaptation (I preferred its predecessor, 'Wild Geese') but it was nonetheless a very poignant take on the darker parts of Africa and the terrible toll it took from post independence imperialism.

Jacobs was a legend no doubt.

I watched both "Wild Geese" and "Dogs of War".
Movies were much deeper back then. It was about the story.

No. Even in this same movie, there's another Nigerian, Ilario Bisi-Pedro, who acted as the Presidential dictator in Dogs of war, and who was also casted in the popular 1963 film; Doctor Who.

BlackViper:
The loud and over demonstrative market woman variety of acting which is found in Nollywood can only appeal to its target local audience. It lacks the ability to cross international boundaries.

Perfect description of Nollywood movies, and that's what turns me off from them. I was watching a Hollywood movie the other day, and there was like 5 minutes of no talking, and the scene still made perfect sense....it can never happen in Nollywood.

The fact is that Nigerians cant act, even the so-called A-List actors.

Dialogue is next to zero and they mostly use nice cinematography to mask obvious production flaws.
