Ghanaian actor and voice-over artiste, Andrew Tandoh-Adote, has printed how he landed a task within the film, Beasts of No Nation, explaining that he to start with rejected the be offering two times.

In an interview on Joy Prime’s Changes display, he mentioned that he declined the chance as a result of he didn’t perceive the have an effect on and importance of taking part in any such function.

He added that he used to be now not involved in regards to the status or cash that would come from performing, and because of this, he didn’t see the wish to settle for the function within the film.

“I had been in Roverman for some time from 2008. Then in 2015, word started going around that there’s this international film and it’s going to involve some big names. So, myself and some people in the group went to the audition and it kind of fell apart so they sent somebody to do the auditions all over again and I went again for that one and then they said I have a part in it but the date that they had originally scheduled was scrubbed and it had begun to eat into the days for my rehearsals and we were very close to production. So, I got a call and they said I had a role and they needed me at some particular times and I said I can’t do it, they should find someone else because the days were too close.”

“That was the first rejection; I knew the movie would be big but I didn’t care. Then an American lady called me and said she heard that I said I can’t play the role and I said yes, I’m in rehearsals and the date won’t favour me so I’m afraid I can’t do it. The lady tried to convince me with things that would make a working actor excited and accept but I didn’t care. The thought of them going to pay me more didn’t occur to me and I didn’t care. I was there again and some Ghanaians who were part of the crew called and said the director himself instructed that they should get me in the movie at all cost.”

In all of that, he used to be now not pompous in rejecting the film be offering; he merely concept the function he used to be given all the way through the audition used to be now not important sufficient for him to be wanted within the movie.

“My audition was simply to act by looking at Abraham passing and act like he looks familiar but I’m not sure. So I was supposed to communicate that with my facial expression. So I thought the role that I’m playing it is not like I have some serious role that I was going to show off my acting skills. I though anybody can do what I did so I didn’t think it was that important that’s why I rejected it twice.”

He ultimately sought the opinion of the CEO of Roverman Productions, Ebo Whyte, on whether or not he must imagine the be offering or now not. After receiving recommendation from his boss, he authorised the function and used to be transported through a van supplied through the Beasts of No Nation crew to wait rehearsals.

Although the cost on the time used to be affordable, Mr. Tandoh-Adote believes he may have negotiated a greater deal. However, he admits that he used to be now not business-minded about his ability again then.

As a end result, the actor has resolved to advertise himself extra and know about non-public business environment, capitalizing on social media to higher place himself for doable shoppers and logo partnerships.
