“I started out purely by accident, as a student in the University of Calabar,” admitted the Ngor Okpala in Imo State, Nigeria native. “I had just been introduced to runway modeling and started organizing fashion shows. Around the time I met movie director named Jeta Amata and became friends. I invited him to a show I was organizing at the time and he returned the gesture by inviting me to his movie set the following week. While on set watching him do what he does best, it came to this scene which he thought would look better with an extra cast in it to fill the frame. He convinced me to give it a go, I accepted and the bug bit hard! My breakout moments include my role in Black November. I co-starred alongside Mickey Rourke, Kim Basinger, Akon, Vivica A Fox, Anne Heche, Persia White, and Wyclef . Another film was The Wedding Party which is currently the highest grossing film in west Africa along with Silver Rain and All About Love both Pan African films.”
