Big Brother Africa runner up, Tayo Faniran, has listed what he looks out for before accepting a movie script.
The reality TV star who is also an actor, said this in a recent interview with HIP TV.
He listed four important things to consider before accepting a movie script. According to him, he has everything to be a major lead in a movie so he watches out for his role in the movie before he accepts.
Then he thinks about stereotype characters, the producing crew and the money involved.
He said, “First thing I look out for when I’m giving a script is my positioning in the story. I think I’m a leading man. I have all it takes to be a lead actor.
“And apart from that, I just love to be the best in what I do. I’m looking for a character that is going to showcase my potential. And in most cases, it’s always the lead character or the supporting lead character.
“The second thing I look out for is that I don’t want to be stereotyped. I don’t like maybe every script that comes, play boy or lover boy, or bad guy or something like that.
“I like to look for diversity; something that will give me the leverage to show my flexibility.
“And then I look out for the people producing the film as well. The class of the film. Is it going to go out? Are people going to see it? Is it going to add something to my career?
“Then I consider the money. Is the money worth my time? I’m a businessman, I’ve other things to do. So, I just weigh it down. Even if it’s not about the money, it should be worth my time.”
He has starred in movies like Man Like Jimmy, Who is the Boss, Gangs of Lagos and many more.
