Actor Wale Ojo says he once trapped a cockroach to prepare for a role

In a recent interview with ThisDay, the actor said that he started acting like the cockroach to play the role well.

I had to be a cockroach and play a cockroach and drop from a ceiling onto the floor and all kinds of things. It took a lot and that was one of my most memorable. I trapped a cockroach in a bottle and I studied the way the cockroach moves in preparation for the role. Poor cockroach I imprisoned it in a bottle and studied the movement, study the way it shook its head, everything and did that on stage,” he said.

Ojo came into acting in 1995 for his role in The Hard Case. He won the award for Best Actor at the 2012 Nigeria Entertainment Awards for the leading role in the film, Phone Swap, and has been featured in several films including, Half of a Yellow Sun (2013), A Letter from Adam (2014), and Fifty (2015).
