For Nollywood actor Eso Dike, whose role in the Netflix series ‘The Smart Money Woman’ is spellbinding, the film industry needs more academies and training schools. In a recent chat, Dike stressed that “Training schools are very key. Being an actor is a life long learning process, and there are several noteworthy institutions that help actors reach higher potentials.”
Dike’s passion for arts started from childhood. He participated in school plays and always had some theatre training before studying law. He landed his first professional acting role in 2016.
However, he’s constantly updating himself in the skill of acting by attending masterclasses and online training.
“I am currently slated to partake in an acting course, starting in January 2022,” he said.
Dike who was born and raised in Benin, Edo State, also weighed in on the current wave of interest in African stories. The way he sees it, African content is unavoidable.
“We are taking over the arts worldwide and our movies are no different. Also, there are Africans spread all over the world, and they want to live vicariously through African content,” he concluded.
