Nollywood veteran Yomi Fash Lanso has spoken up about his run in the Nollywood industry, crediting his success to his level of self control in the industry.
The actor, popularly known for his compelling performances in Yoruba-language films, reflected on his career while speaking in an interview with Sunday Sun.
Yomi spoke about being able to fit into several roles, noting that transformation is an important factor while preparing for a role.
”That is what separates a professional actor from a regular one. You must be able to switch roles. I don’t carry the same face or mannerisms into different roles. Everything appearance, movement, and expression, must reflect the character. Understanding the character deeply makes it easier to switch. You must transform for each role. Once you get the “character bible,” you must be able to build and present that character properly—that is what being an actor means. We also have what we call “directors’ actors.” They understand the job and make things easier for the director because they immerse themselves fully in the character,” he stated.
