Lebanese Ghanaian based Actor Joseph Van Vicker says some Nigerian actors threatened him for constantly starring in Nollywood movies due to the competitive nature of the film industry and the preference for their own to be cast for roles.
Speaking to Nana Ama McBrown on United Showbiz on UTV as monitored by Ghanaweb, Van Vicker explained, “Initially everything was good, but at a point, the Nigerian male actors had issues with me so I did face some threats, adverse situations here and there because they were not too happy.”Vicker noted that the actors later had to understand that whether the role goes to a Ghanaian or a Nigerian, “we’re all brothers”.
According to him,he really appreciated the competition between Ghana and Nigeria anytime he starred in movies in Nigeria“…For him, the competition allowed him to appreciate the lifestyle of other people and also take risks “knowing that as an actor because it is highly competitive, you want to go outside your comfort zone because that’s where the real opportunities and development of yourself can be,”.He also noted that the Nigerian producers paid the Ghanaian actors very well .
