There is currently an incessant use of young actors to play roles of the elderly in the Ghanaian movie indutry, especially in Kumawood.<\/p>\n
A handful of veteran actors and film enthusiasts have expresses disappointement at this act by some producers.<\/p>\n
But Kumawwod actor, Kwadwo Nkansah, aka Lilwin has asserted that there’s nothing wrong with a young actor playing the role of an elderly in movies.<\/p>\n
The comis actor, who appears to have played such roles more than any other says it is an international practice and as such finds no fault with it.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven Jackie Chan is cast an old man\u201d he said on Atinka TV\u2019s Entertainment City, Saturday.<\/em><\/p>\n Lilwin further stated that, \u201conce you play the role well, there is nothing wrong with that. The challenge is when you\u2019re unable to interpret\u00a0the role the best way you should.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n He told host, Oforiwa, that due to how keen he is about his profession, he has the finest makeup products which he gives to makeup artists on set.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, critics of this practice have argued that\u00a0older actors possess certain physiological traits necessary for the execution of the role.<\/p>\n Some have also argued that doing so is depriving the elderly actors the opportunity to act. This according to them is causing fluctuations in their career.<\/p>\n Hence, they see it inappropriate for a young actor to be given such roles when there are many old actors who can equally play them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There is currently an incessant use of young actors to play roles of the elderly in the Ghanaian movie indutry, especially in Kumawood.
