Nigerian actor, Kehinde Adeyemi, has stated his love for playing the role of a policeman in movies and the joy he derives from it

The popular Nigerian actor, who was in a conversation with Potpourri, revealed that though he loves the role of a policeman, he has been trained to take up other roles, as he is not a one character actor.

He stated;
“As an actor, the first movie I participated in was Aminah Eleha, then Afomo by Jide Kosoko. I won’t forget the day Uncle Jide said, ‘Kenny oya come and do this for me.’ Since then I love acting as a police officer in a movie because it gives me joy when doing it. As an actor, all roles need to be done well but I like playing policemen in movies.”

Furthermore, the actor opened up on his move into the entertainment industry. He stated;

“I had always wanted to do some form of entertainment, especially acting. When I was young I watched a lot of TV series in the 70’s and I always loved to act when watching a brother from the same town, Yinka Quadri acting then as Fagbamila.

“I belong to the Odunfa group which comprises Yinka Quadri, Ogogo and Abbey Lanre. When we went for acting, these veterans told us to try and pick one behind the scenes work and I decided to choose a production manager. Then Bakky Adeoye used to be our PM, and I kept watching him and later took interest in film production. And since then I have been working as a production manager.”

The popular actor made it known that acting and producing are not easy in anyway, citing his experience. He said;

“As producers, we face different challenges when working, sometimes heavy rain, equipment breakdown or disappointment from casts. Film producers are more like clerics or pastors that teach people how to behave well. Any movie you watch and you didn’t learn from is not worth being called a movie.”
