Nollywood Veteran Tina Mba Slams Small-Minded Actors Prioritizing Lead Roles
Actors Overestimating Themselves by Thinking They Should Only Land Lead Roles are Unrealistic - Tina Mba's Viewpoint
Kick back and join us as we dive into the wise words from the exceptional Nollywood thespian, Tina Mba. She's letting loose on her critically-acclaimed show, "Lights, Camera, It's Your Turn," hosted by fellow actress, Tope Olowoniyan.
Mba isn't pulling any punches. She's calling out those in the acting world who hold the belief that lead roles are the be-all and end-all of their careers. In her opinion, such a mindset is a clear sign of ignorance and lack of education.
The actress took these small-minded thinkers to task, arguing that every role has its purpose in storytelling. She even brought up the iconic Hollywood film, "Pretty Woman," as a prime example of how even minor characters can make an indelible impact.
Mba pointed to the street urchin character that opened and closed the film, saying, "Even in the public eye, the lead might seem like everything, but for us as actors, it's just a role."
For those who insist on being in the limelight at all times, Mba had a simple message: "If they have that luck, I wish them well. Personally, I believe there are no small roles but small actors."
