Owobo Ogunde Reflects on Theatre Legacy and Career

Owobo Ogunde, an actor who began his career at age 14 after leaving school in form 3 to join his father’s theatre company, discusses his experiences in the film industry. He played dual roles in a production titled "An Ojude Oba Story," emphasizing the importance of audience perception in acting.

Ogunde recalls his upbringing in a family of actors, including his late mother, who was featured in the documentary "Aropin N’tenia." He mentions significant projects he was involved in, such as "Mister Johnson," which featured Pierce Brosnan, and his father's last film, "Ayanmo." He notes that "Ayanmo" was filmed entirely in Ososa, where the first functional film village in West Africa was established. Ogunde expresses a desire to broaden his horizons after his father's passing and reflects on the generational disconnect in the film industry due to the lack of social media documentation during earlier times.
