Of course the movers and shakers when it comes to the ladies is cast in stone. Their names ring bells and you can in a twinkle of an eye call out strings of movies under their fold. So who are the coasters, those who barely get a lead role in a movie? Those who are dependent to ride on the shoulders the more established names? What really doesn’t make them top notch and rather continuously remain under the shadows? Well, let’s take a quick peek at some of them:
Queen Nwokoye
Now Queen is one I am disappointed in. After her movie “Speak the Word,” I chased after every single Queen movie and it went from bad to worse. her weaves became longer and more atrocious and her acting skills went into the blazes. Right now, I by-pass every single movie she is in because it will be a headache and cause brain damage to watch.
Ebube Nwagbo
Sweet girl with the potential to blow up into making a very strong movie but she is as flat as a tortilla. I am writing and racking my brain for some strong role she has played but I can’t think of any. I can remember some movies she’s done, but her performance has not brought me to tears before.
Juliet Ibrahim
Another coaster. I can’t for the life of me remember even one movie I know her for. The few movies I recall about her are just stereotypes after stereotypes. Forever playing supporting roles because she simply can’t carry a film.
Tonto Dike
She is on the list because she just needs to be on the list. Bad actress, over-hyped. I remember her not because she’s made a memorable movie but because she is so atrocious.
Chika Ike
Add over acting to her credentials and you’ve got cannot act plus number 1 forget me quickly actress. What dynamic role has this girl played? She’s always shouting, talking too fast or making faces.
Uche Iwuji
What can we say about this girl? She needs divine intervention. Bad actress, forever coaster. Her claim to fame is granting nonsense interviews and attending functions. Not one memorable movie.
So let cap it with a quick word from Misstilli’s blog. Everyone needs to read this:
“Word of advice to all actors and actresses -I have said it here and i will say it again – unless you have a one breakthrough movie with a phenomenal performance that audience will ALWAYS remember, all you are doing is just coasting along and getting paid and in today’s industry there are a lot of “coasting along” type actors and actresses (typical example: Chika Ike – not one memorable movie / performance girl has done to date -ultimate coaster). You need to aim to get a good script with a good director to make you the headline and for you to give us (the audience) the best performance ever, that will forever remain in our memory and of course that’s when your name also sticks in our heads and we shall call you a household names – an actor or an actress the majority remember – remembered for your great performance – and not your looks. Once you have acted for at least 3 odd years always playing a friend/daughter/son etc in roles, it’s about time to move on up, and convince someone to cast you in a lead (pray about it) – if you deserve it by your great performance. Yes it is easier said than done to get a big headline role, but maybe in your little role if you act excellent someone might take notice and give you a chance. Uche Iwuji started acting in Jurassic Park days (meaning “long long time”) and forever played a friend in every role until she slowly faded out and we don’t see her anymore. She had great potential but it didn’t go far.”
There are coasters among the men too. Maybe would profile them as well in the near future. Do you have any such list for men in mind? Send us an email. Share your thoughts.
