Veteran actor Yinka Quadri has offered words of wisdom to aspiring actors, urging them to leave their ego at home and remain patient if they hope to succeed in the competitive Nollywood industry.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, Quadri emphasized the importance of humility and patience in achieving success in the entertainment industry. “My advice to aspiring actors is to be patient and stay calm. Anyone with an ego should leave it at home to truly learn, grow, and succeed in this industry,” he said.
Quadri also commended young actors and filmmakers for their efforts in promoting Yoruba culture through their movies. He noted that the younger generation is taking Yoruba culture to new heights, surpassing the achievements of their predecessors.
The seasoned actor encouraged young talents to remain committed to portraying African culture in Nollywood productions. “I will advise young actors not to relent. The world is seeing that Nollywood, especially the Yoruba sector, is elevating our culture. I trust that they won’t relent because they are seeking more knowledge to elevate it even further,” Quadri said.
