For a while now, a lot of pundits in Nollywood have been concerned about the dearth of good looking, articulate actors ready to take the baton of acting to move with the next level. The doyen of Nollywood leading men, Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD) having moved into politics, Ramsey not acting as many movies of before, Desmond Elliot seeming to move more into directing and producing \u2026. Jim Iyke with his NGO and film producing, Mike Ezuruonye getting married at all\u2026 its all good really. It shows progress but it has left a vacuum for the quintessential leading man because whether we admit it or not, movies are escapism!<\/p>\n

Bryan_black_tThe notion of the \u2018tall, dark and handsome man coming to carry you off into the sunset\u2019 is still very much alive and kicking (thank you very much!) and we still look forward to living our lives vicariously through these characters! For every ten new actresses that come in there is just one or sometimes no new male actor! So what happens is that other actors get recycled over and over again. There just aren\u2019t many options and that\u2019s the truth. This dearth made it ideal for the advent of Ghanaian actors, Majid Michel, Van Vicker, John Dumelo to come in and fill the ranks for while but after the brouhaha last year between Ghanaian and Nigerian producers over fees to be paid for using actors from either countries, producers started looking inwards again, shopping for that elusive male actor that could deliver the goods. Enter Bryan Okwara!<\/p>\n

Good looking, easy-going, funny and talented, Bryan is the total package. A former Mr Nigeria and international model, he has now added \u2018actor\u2019 to his repertoire, having acted in the just concluded movie, \u2018I\u2019ll Take My Chances\u2019 where he starred with screen siren, Ini Edo in an explosive love story that involves dance, drama and plenty of culture. The rigorous shoot took him round three states in Nigeria (Lagos, Cross River and Akwa Ibom) and several cultural and natural landmarks were showcased.
