How my career as an actor started - Adjetey Anang

 Adjetey Anang a renowned Ghanaian actor, popularly known as “Pusher” which was his screen name in the television series “Things we do for love”, had an interview with Vanessa Vanderpuye a student of the African University College of Communication on Wednesday at the Ama Ata Aidoo Center. 

 

During the interview the actor dimmed more light on how he started  as an actor, the actor had said that his friend just asked him to escort him somewhere, on arrival to the place he met actors like  Fred Amugi, Kwami Sefa Kayi and other personalities we see on tv. He felt excited seeing them, when he got there this actors were rehearsing a script., Adjetey had said that the director asked him to read a part to help them because one of the characters was absent. 

 




“After the rehearsal the director told me I was very good and I read very well, so he is going to make  me a promise if I come back for the next rehearsal, he will give me a role”, Adjetey Anang had said. He didn’t believe him because all the people he met there were accomplished actresses and actors and he just came. During their second rehearsal Adjetey asked the director to take him along so he could get the chance to see Fred Amugi and Kwami Sefa. The actor had said that destiny found his way to him because the character still did not show up and he had to take that role and that was his first Tv production and that was were it all started. He went ahead to talk about how he went for an auditioning  at the national theater and he was picked to act among other actors and actresses. This happened after his father had approved of him to be the best in whatever he was going to do and not forget to add education to it, he said this pushed him.



The actor spoke more about himself, after that few questions were posed at him, “when did it occur to you that you need to write a book ” One of the students asked. Adjetey answered by saying he realized his fans didn’t know him beyond the camera and he didn’t like the fact that people praise him whiles deep down him he is not that kind of a person. He concluded by saying that he wanted young  actors to see him just like themselves and not for them to feel he is perfect and he has no mistakes, he also wanted them to feel free to share any problem or challenges they maybe having in the industry with him.
