Veteran actor Dele Odule says most young people in the movie industry lack discipline and are only concerned about making money.
The Yoruba movie star said this in an interview with Punch published on Sunday.
According to him, many of the new actors do not have the originality and ingenuity required for acting.
Odule also stated that many young people in the industry were being carried away by social media followership.
“Many of the new actors don’t have the originality and ingenuity required for acting. There are very few people who are original and also know the nitty-gritty of acting. I advise younger people coming into the industry to take the job as a serious profession, rather than what they can use to mark time.
“They also have to be disciplined, and acquire theatre education and orientation. Unfortunately, many of the young people out there are not disciplined. They are more concerned about the money they can make from acting, not the passion that should be given to the profession,” he said.
