| GEORGE WILLIAMS - ACTOR |
Ace actor and
entertainer George Williams who claim to fame was with the television series
‘Ultimate Paradise’ back in the days over the weekend on celebrity XYZ a radio
show on radioxyz93.1fm that himself and his fellow old folks are been ignored
by producers for roles in movies these days.
The actor lamented in
a more passionate manner on celebrity xyz with Nana Yaa Agyare that, he can’t
put his hands on the very reason why many current producers have ignored the
old ones in their movies and they turn to force young guys to act an old man /
woman’s role in movies.
“Many of us are of
the shock that roles / characters that needs to be depicted by an older person
is been giving to a young guy with makeup on to look like an old man, that’s
amazing because if that person has not experienced what is been given to him
before how does how does it come out well”, George added.
He noted: ‘look at
our sister movie makers in other countries (not to mention any name) they use
the right people for the right roles, so every time they get their story right
hence I believe we should also do so and that will give our movies the quality
it deserves’.
The question: ‘is it
because the old names cannot sell movies these days on the market so for that
matter they are not been used again?
The answer is simple,
if we want Ghanaian movies to be added to the class of movies that last a long
time then we should do the right things and one of them is using the right
people for the right characters as it is done in even Hollywood.
Old names like Grace
Nortey, Sam Adjetefio, David Dontoh, Emmanuel Armah among others are all
available for roles hence producers should call on them if need be to play that
role which suits them more better than using a makeup young person.
Let’s make our
Ghanaian movies next to believe and if we will do so then we need to utilize
every good actor because don’t forget the old folks suffered for this industry.
