From ‘Spirited Actor’ to ‘The Cursed Ones’: Joseph gets breakthrough

Budding actor, Joseph Otsiman may have received his biggest break yet since his appearance on the Spirited Actor reality TV search.

Joseph plays the second lead in the upcoming movie, ‘The Cursed Ones’ which was written by Maximillian Claussen, directed by Nana Obiri Yeboah and produced by Nicholas K. Lory.


He starred in the movie alongside Actor Oris Erhuero, Jimmy Jean Louis, Fred Amugi, Akorfa Edjeani Asiedu, David Dontoh, Ama K. Abebrese, Rama Brew, among others.


Joseph plays the role of a young pastor in a community trying to do his pastoral assignments. In the course of dispensing his duties as a pastor, a lot of issues cropped resulting in an interesting series of events.


An excited Joseph explained how he got the role in the international feature film: “I got this role by going for auditions as usual, and after the auditions, I waited and waited patiently for that special call to come through but to no avail. On the day that I was called for my role, I jubilated so much that I was almost knocked down by a car.”

He hinted that people should expect surprises, adding that even those who know would watch his movies and say “no it’s not him; that it’s a different person altogether”.


Joseph advised up and coming actors that dreams are possible to be achieved and that no matter how big it is, it is possible.


“God put you in that corner to tell you a story; no matter how big your dreams are, it is possible to come through,” he said.
