Nollywood actress Jemima Osunde has recently voiced her concerns about the evolving dynamics of actor selection in the Nigerian film industry. She mentioned that filmmakers are increasingly favoring skit makers and social media influencers over traditionally trained actors for roles in movies.

In a candid discussion on ‘Rubbin’ Minds,’ Osunde expressed her apprehensions, stating, “I have seen a situation where a skit maker is picked over an actual actor that can pull off the role.” She emphasized that this trend pressures actors to become content creators on social media platforms to remain relevant and considered for roles.

Osunde further elaborated on the challenges actors face in balancing their craft with the demands of maintaining a strong online presence. She recounted her own journey, mentioning that she initially ventured into acting during her university days to supplement her income. An uncle involved in entertainment encouraged her to explore acting or presenting, leading her to the industry.

The actress also addressed the perception of being labeled an ‘Instagram’ actress, asserting that she remains unfazed by such tags. She acknowledged that while social media followings can influence casting decisions, the primary focus should be on an actor’s talent and ability to deliver compelling performances.
