Actress Juliet Ibrahim has slammed all those telling actors to go find another job to do.
Recall that Kemifilani reported how Yvonne Nelson and Kofi Adjorlolo called out Ghanaian movie producers for owing actors money.
They were criticized by some movie practitioners who advised them to go get another job and stop dwelling on acting alone.
Reacting to the criticism, Juliet Ibrahim wrote:
“So you’re saying an actor should stop acting if that’s the only job an actor knows best???! What if u were asked to stop tailoring and find another day job how would you feel my brother? Acting is a full-time job that pays people’s bills all over the world. An actor shouldn’t have to find another job if the proper structures are in place in his country movie industry. Unfortunately, that’s not the case in Ghana. Hence your advise should be; actors please find other jobs to do while acting because producers don’t value the worth of actors in Ghana yet; so till then, actors should have other means and sources of income.”
“God help us all in this industry. But until a producer owes u money you well deserve; u won’t be here saying this at all. Till date, some Gh producers haven’t paid people’s balance or Full acting fee or crew members fees and it’s not a joking matter! Let’s stop mocking our own and get serious so that we the actors and industry can also be taken serious.”
