Renowned Nigerian actor, Stan Nze, has said that endangering one’s life for the sake of a film role is an unwise decision.
He shared his thoughts while discussing character portrayal in the Nigerian film industry.
In a conversation with The Nation, Nze explained that it would be unreasonable for him to risk his safety just to be regarded as a top performer, especially when professional stunt doubles exist and are paid specifically to handle dangerous scenes in movies.
He said, “Why would I risk my life jumping from a dangerous height in a movie? Jumping characters are done by stunt guys. That’s their job. They are called stunt actors who are well paid for such roles. They have the experience of how to jump and do other things.
“I’m not going to be foolish and jump a dangerous height just because I want to be the best actor in Africa, and the people go do one minute of silence and then move on, it is stupidity.
“I will only do the ones I’m meant to do, so that the stunt men can do their job too”.
