It earned Andrew a Ranks Africa 5-Star Performance Rating and placed him at the heart of one of Nollywood’s major theatrical successes of the year.
But Andrew’s story didn’t begin with one film. From ‘Water and Garri’ and ‘Princess on a Hill’ to ‘Love Lockdown’, ‘My Body, God’s Temple’ and now ‘Call of My Life’, the Ghanaian actor has been steadily building his place within Nollywood and the wider African screen industry.”
