Edward Agyekum Kufuor, a celebrated actor and reverend minister, has revealed that his motivation for acting stems from passion rather than financial gain.
In an interview on ATUU with Abieku Santana, he shared that he often takes on roles without payment and even provides his own costumes.
He emphasized that his love for the craft drives him, explaining that if money were his priority, his fees would be much higher.
Kufuor also expressed his desire to collaborate with Kumawood filmmakers, highlighting his versatility as an actor.
He called on notable directors like Akabenezer and Jackson K. Bentum to consider him for roles, recalling instances where he has portrayed diverse characters, including a madman.
“I can act with Kumawood producers and actors, and I would love to work with them… I encourage them to involve me in their roles because I am a versatile actor and I have even played a role where I was a madman,” he added.
On the subject of romantic scenes, Kufuor acknowledged his participation in such roles while stressing the importance of professionalism.
He noted that when nudity is involved, he discusses his concerns with the director.
With a career that includes films like Sidechic Geng and The Storm, Kufuor is not only recognized for his acting but also serves as an executive member of the Governing Council for the Asian-African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (AACCI).
