From Acting to Truck Driving: Former KTN Actor Junior Shows Off His Life in the US

Former KTN actor Junior has given Kenyans a glimpse into his life in the United States after showcasing the truck he currently uses for work. The former television personality appeared in a video shared on social media, where he highlighted some of the benefits of working in the American trucking industry.

Junior, whose real name is Easron Abraham Asmlash, became familiar to many Kenyans through his appearances on KTN television. However, he has since moved away from the entertainment industry and established a different career in the United States.

In the video, Junior was accompanied by fellow Kenyan truck driver and fitness influencer Phil at a truck stop in the US. Phil asked him to show the truck he operates, prompting Junior to use his remote key to unlock the vehicle before inviting him to take a look inside.

The two men then entered the truck cabin, where Junior gave viewers a glimpse of his working environment. The interior featured black seats, with a few personal belongings visible on the floor.

During the tour, Junior revealed that the truck was a 2027 Freightliner model. He also explained that the vehicle was an important part of his livelihood, describing it as the source of his income.

The conversation later shifted to the opportunities available in the trucking industry. Phil encouraged other Kenyans to consider pursuing truck driving, saying the profession could provide financial opportunities while allowing drivers to travel to different destinations.

Junior supported his colleague’s message, explaining that one of the attractive aspects of the job was the opportunity to explore different states across the United States.

According to Junior, truck drivers get the chance to visit several places, interact with different people and experience life beyond the areas where they normally live.

He also highlighted the financial benefits, noting that the job could help workers save money if they managed their earnings properly.

Junior encouraged those interested in the profession not to overlook the opportunities available in the industry. However, he did not disclose his personal earnings or provide specific figures on how much he makes from driving the truck.

The video has also attracted attention because of Junior’s journey from the Kenyan entertainment industry to his current career abroad. His decision to pursue a different profession has given his former fans an opportunity to see another side of his life.

In June 2025, Junior spoke about his decision to leave Kenya and relocate to the United States. He explained that his parents played a role in the move after becoming concerned about the company he was keeping at the time.

He also expressed disappointment with the Kenyan entertainment industry, saying it did not offer the financial opportunities he had hoped for.

His latest appearance has once again sparked conversations among Kenyans interested in working abroad, particularly in the transport sector.

While truck driving offers opportunities to earn a living and travel, the profession also requires proper training, relevant commercial driving licences and the ability to handle the demands of long-distance journeys.
