Deyemi Okanlawon advises skit makers who want to become actors

Speaking on the recent episode of the Echoo Room podcast, the actor was asked for his opinion on social media skit makers using the medium to break into the acting industry. In turn, he emphasised the importance of perseverance and hard work.

He began, “If you’re ever trying to do anything different from the norm, if you’re known for something and you’re trying to do something different, it’s going to be difficult.”

“Nobody is going to readily roll over and allow you; I’ve learned that the hard way. So if anyone finds themselves in that situation, what I would suggest is to just keep that vision alive and keep working towards it,” Deyemi added.
