Thelma Okoduwa<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nShe played the good wife to Kanayo O. Kanayo in \u201cDesperate Billionaire\u201d, but says she prefers the bad girl roles. One of which is the wayward character of Joy, which she is now getting popular for, in the Chico Ejiro\u2019s soap opera entitled: \u201cTreasures.\u201d Not afraid of being stereotyped, she says. \u201cI prefer the bad girl role, it is more tasking and requires extra effort\u201d.
\nThelma Okoduwa is an Edo State born actress who has just finished from the University of Port Harcourt studying Computer Science. But being a friend of Rita Dominic for fourteen years heightened her interest for the make believe business, such that against her father\u2019s cold attitude to her liking for the job, she not only debut in \u201cFast moves\u201d in 1995, but went a head to pursue one year diploma in theatre arts.
\nHer second film: \u201cSweet Love\u201d produced and directed by Vitus Nnebue and Osita Okoli respectively, was done along side Rita Dominic. She says her experience on the second movie was tougher. She rated her performance worse than the first time, owing to the fact that she had been away for nine years only to return when the industry had grown bigger and performing with a crop of much experienced actors, she found quite intimidating. \u201cActing with Emeka Ike, Chidi Mokeme and Rita Dominic puts me under great pressure. I was not used to the hurried style, where you had to get ready for the next set within little or no time to get dressed\u201d. She said excitedly.
\nThelma in Passionate Appeal
\nWith about twenty films to her credit, among them: \u201cSweet Love\u201d \u201cDesperate Billionaire\u201d \u201cUnbroken Promise\u201d \u201cFoul Play\u201d \u201cPassionate Appeal\u201d and \u201cFlying without wings\u201d which she said was most challenging, playing the bad girl, she told a little story:
\n\u201cIt was the first time I was playing a bad woman role. I was married to Desmond Eliot who is a drug baron in \u201cFlying without wings\u201d. I started flirting with Tu-Face, when Desmond was not giving me the due attention. It was seductive and daring\u201d.
\nFor the leverage she has attained so far, Thelma has film directors Chico Ejiro and Osita Okoli, to thank. Chico she said brought out the best in her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
