Speaking on social media, the actor said there was no time he stopped acting. According to him, cable stations have refused to broadcast action movies like they show other movies.
Gentle Jack, however, told Sunday Scoop that since he made the observation, he was yet to see any improvement.
He said, “I am an action hero and I have a passion for epic movies. Since I voiced out, the feedback has been poor. It is only a few people who responded. I am not the only person involved; it has also affected many of my colleagues who do action movies.”
While saying that he could play any role as an actor, he stated that he had a preference for action movies. He said, “As an actor, I am versatile. Recently, I shot a comedy movie with Wale Adenuga Production titled, Knockout. I can be involved in all kinds of movies including comedy, romance and adventure stories. But I have a passion for action or epic movies.”
Gentle Jack also revealed that he relocated to Port Harcourt about three years ago as he had been living in Lagos since he was born.
He said, “Moving to Port Harcourt has not affected my acting career. If you are looking for me, you can always call me. But most times, producers find it hard to pay me; so, they look for cheaper options. One thing they don’t understand is that no one can be like Gentle Jack. I thank God I made my mark in the early years of Nollywood. I still make money from acting. Serious producers contact me for jobs. If Wale Adenuga didn’t believe in me, he wouldn’t call me for a production.”
from punch
if he was abroad he'd make a lot of money as a bodyguard
ReplyDeleteIf he was in enugu he'd make a lot of money as a club bouncer
DeleteMy dear you have point. Correct bodyguard. Even Bey and Kim's personal guards don't have the heaviness and fleshiness that Gentle Jack has. Plus that scary domineering face. Only wendy Williams guard looks a bit like him.
DeleteThey should leave action movies for Hollywood abg gun shot will be sounding like fire works, punch will sound as if so someone is pounding fufu...
ReplyDelete@happy feet
DeleteYou are happy staying at the feet?
You are the problem; people who do not every love their own thing.
Why not talk about how to improve their acting and costumes instead of
castigating them. He is open for feedback he says.
Hollywood did not start like you know it today. They too were once "pounding foo foo
and shooting knockouts".

Oga anonymous are they ready to improve on themselves and work on all the aspects of movie production ranging from sound, casting, and the use of special effect?
DeleteThey don't even use good props for action movies
The so called cinema movies are some of those movies really worth it?
They should do their home work before producing a movie and giving it all the unnecessary hype and you eventually get upset after seeing it.
Please they should leave action movies for Hollywood. When they are done with their home work they can go ahead to produce it
And again don't give my blog ID another meaning.
It's been so long I watched his movies though. Nigerians love romance drama and comedy more than action movies.
ReplyDeleteHe's a good actor.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed his character in " Vuga"
Gentle Jack is passionate about his roles in films
ReplyDeletePlease, I take God beg una, nollywood, pls no more action movies!
ReplyDeleteEl Oh El.
ReplyDeleteHe should contact Nigeria actors in Hollywood for roles that is where he belongs nollywood epic/action movies are wacky.
ReplyDeleteThis really made me laugh I'm not a gentle Jack fan neither do I like naija action film. It's a dead stuff joor,people need to laugh & get that kinda totori feeling & be able to relate to them when watching movies, that is why more of the comedies & romantic dramas are selling. Face another hustle while you wait for action roles
ReplyDeleteNot a fan
ReplyDeleteVUGA

ReplyDeleteGentle and shy Jack.
Loving you from way back.
Gradually we shall get there.
Nollywood that will frustrate someone, thank God i left that place to a bigger ,better place,they want cheap things,they dont value talents,crazy place.
ReplyDeleteGentle Jack ...he bought my old King size bed from me in Atlanta, I was surprised but I am not a fan of actors and actresses so I just put face like I didn't know who he was, I was interested in selling my bed frame and mattress and he wanted to play a fast one on me. Well he didn't. Gentle Jack if you wanted a brand new King size bed and mattress you shouldn't have looked on Offer Up app, it is for used and fairly used goods and items.
