I was mocked and discouraged for not being a funny comic actor – Kwadwo Nkansah

“When I started acting in the movies, I was mocked and discouraged that I wasn’t a funny comedian,” says popular Kumawood actor, Kwadwo Nkansah.

Using his life experience to motivate listeners in a one-on-one interview on Cape Coast-based Property FM, the comic actor said never allow what people say to make you lose hope.

“When I started acting in the movies, they said I wasn’t good enough and should not be counted among funny comedians.

“By the time they realised, God had lifted me to be counted among the best in the movie industry, and it’s all by the Grace of God.

“When I started acting as an old man in the movies, people thwarted my efforts and made a mockery of me that what I’m doing is senseless,” he said in an interview with Amansan Krakye.

“But now, people really enjoy it when I play the role of an old character in movies, and that’s the same thing [that happened] when I introduced dancing in movies.

“So everything that people want to use to discourage me from doing it, God uses that to bless me, and so never allow what people say to make you lose hope,” he added.
