Nigerian actor Timini Egbuson has said that he is the biggest actor in Africa.
The Bayelsa born says he can confidently call himself the best because of his 15 years of experience in the Nigerian film industry.
In his words;
“I genuinely believe if you put everything that I have done and everything that I have been able to accomplish, I believe that I’m the biggest actor in Africa.”
The Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) 2020 winner for Best Actor in a Drama for his role in Elevator Baby has come so far, from starring in the series, Tinsel and MTV Shuga: Naija to most recently the highest-grossing Nigerian film A Tribe Called Judah.
Additionally, he said that he has been able to assist other prominent male actors in becoming the stars that they currently are.
“I believe that I genuinely opened up the way for a lot of new school young actors. I also believe that I opened up the leading male young actor category. Because when I joined Nollywood there were no lead roles for like younger [man], you either had to be an old man or like a young babe… No one was actively writing lead roles for young men,” he said.
Egbuson also revealed that he will soon make his directing debut.
