He is 43-year old , star of many blockbusters and one of the highest paid actors in Nigeria. It is either you like or hate him. But the bottom line still remains that he is an excellent actor.<br \/>\nHank Anuku lives in Surelere in Lagos with his lovely wife and child. He loves cars and has array of sports cars and motor cycles.<br \/>\nHank is the son of a former Nigerian cabinet minister. He started acting fifteen years ago and has lived and worked in Europe and the United States. He has also taken up singing and is currently working on his first album. Hank has long forgotten in how many movies he\u2019s starred. It might be 60, or even 70, he says.<br \/>\nNollywood star actor, Hanks Anuku, is not only associated with bad guy  roles in the Nigerian movie industry. He is an actor that loves to ride  on heavy racing motor bikes on the streets of Lagos. Although his accent  is American having lived in the United States for a very long time  before returning to Nigeria, he is deeply rooted in the African culture  and loves his people dearly.<br \/>\nIn a recent interview with the  press, Hanks disclosed that before he joined Nollywood, he had played  some movie roles abroad. According to him, he was introduced to the  Nigerian movie industry by Regina Askia and his first movie was an Igbo  Freak titled &#8216;The Skeleton&#8217; with Mr. Fidelis Duka. Since then, he had  featured in countless movies.<br \/>\nAmong these movies are the senator 1&amp;2, &#8216;The Senatorium,&#8217; &#8216;My Love&#8217;, &#8216;Desperados,&#8217; &#8216;Broad Day Light and other best sellers.<br \/>\nAlthough  some people who watch his movies claim that he is a tough actor who  likes to play tough roles, he said, people could play what ever role  given to them in the make-believe industry but that does not mean that  is what they are in real life. The important thing is to interprete the  roles well.<br \/>\nHanks Anuku who was born in Ibadan 40 years ago,  attended Loyola College Ibadan and Auchi Polytechnic and graduated in  1981, before moving to the United States of America. He said he came to  the industry to build up the children to make them comfortable and to  build on the good things of life.<br \/>\nHe urged the upcoming artistes  to be dedicated, shun rumour mongering or be jealous of one another  because everybody is a star provided you identify your talent and  develop it.<br \/>\nFilmography: The Senator, Accidental Discharge, African Child, Am In Love, Big Boss, Blood On Ice, Broad Daylight, Deadly Ransom, Dear Sister, Derico, Desperados, Desperate Ambition, Discord, Fast Cash, Final Game, Formidable Force, Last Decision, Living In Tears, Matters Of The Heart, My Choice, My Love, No Place To Hide, No Place To Lay, Perfect Murder, Player, Risky Affair, Sensational Spy, Swimming With Sharks,\u00a0 The Untold, Twin Brothers, Unforgetable and more<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of Nollywood\u2019s biggest stars and heartthrobs is Hank Anuku.
