Actor Uzor Arukwe Says Nollywood Filmmakers Use Social Media Followers To Rate Actors

Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe who has 508k followers on Instagram says there was a time when social media following was one of the prerequisites for thespians to get movie roles from some producers in the Nigerian movie industry.


The ‘A Tribe Called Judah’ star admitted that it was a “big” challenge for him during his days as a struggling actor
“I remember all so clearly when I started. It was a big problem for me.
“There was a time in this industry when it was mostly about Instagram and Twitter followers, and stuff like that. I didn’t understand it but knew it was something I had to be at peace with, because a production house wants to hire you and they’re looking at your numbers. ‘But can he act?’ That is the question I always ask. But there are some people who are blessed who are fantastic actors who have numbers and they’ve been doing well.”

    1. As in ehn. I knew Uzor from back in the days when them Mary Remy and Uche Ogbodo used to play palace maids in those royal themed epic movies. He has come a long way and I'm glad he's doing well for himself.
