The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) Chairman, Rivers State chapter, Chigozie Osunwa Kenneth has reaffirmed that the safety of an actor is the responsibility of both parties.
He said this yesterday, during an interview session with newsmen in Port Harcourt.
According to him, the AGN makes policies that are beneficial to its members, saying that it now behooves on the actors to abide by the laid down policies.
He said that Nigerian actors do not live beyond 50’s and 60’s because of their lifestyles, adding that Orenthal James Simpson, the American actor who just passed on, died at age 76, saying that Nollywood actors hardly get to that age.
“0ur actors here hardly gotten to that age or beyond due to the kind of life they live. If you take an actor to a location for a film shoot, he will leave what he went there for and go clubing, by the time he is called to come and do the needful, he will start giving excuses for not being able to get on set,” he said.
He however, emphasise the need for discipline in the association, adding that as an individual, if you are disciplined you do not need any one to keep reminding you on what needed to be done, especially, when it comes to a laid down principle or policy for wherever you belong.
