Veteran actress, Victoria Inyama, kicked off her acting career with a soap opera titled Ripples between 1998/1999; this was after she was discovered by Alex Usifo who saw, the talent in her and invited her over for an audition.
Describing her days in the industry as beautiful and memorable, the beautiful mother of three told Saturday Beats some of the things she feels make the profession look embarrassing compared to how it was when she started her career.
“My days in the industry were lovely; there was so much love; there was so much hard work. People wanted to act for acting sake, they didn’t want to act because of money.
We were competing with who could cry the most, memorise long lines the most, who was the saddest character and stuffs like that unlike now that it is all about unnecessary competition like cars and houses.
Back then, it was just innocent and genuine competition. It wasn’t for the fame but integrity.
The truth is, these days it is an embarrassment being called an actress. You want to be called something else because there is no respect for that name anymore.
Sometimes, I can’t wait to qualify as a psychologist so that when you think of Victoria Inyama, it will be in another light. Those in the industry now are doing a lot of things that shouldn’t be done in 2018.
It is not just one particular thing that they should stop doing; from the picture, story line, artistes and costumes, some of them are just weird and out of place. Once I see certain names in the production, I don’t even bother,” she said.
