‘Replacing John Dumelo Was By Talent’

Anthony Woode

Actor Anthony Woode has said  replacing fellow actor John  Dumelo in a series titled ‘Bank Chronicles’ by Venus Films is because producer of the series believed in his  talent and he indeed lived up to the challenge.

Woode had his first lead role in a television drama series in ‘Bank Chronicles’ where he played a role of Kafui in Season 3 and 4.

He interestingly replaced John Dumelo who was initially playing the character Kafui.

It is unclear why Dumelo was ousted from the series. However, after a thorough casting for a replacement for the character, no other actor in Ghana best fits than Anthony Woode.

He found nothing wrong with accepting the role. “When Abdul Salam Mumuni called me his office for the role, I was left speechless, but then I realised that he had seen a talent in me and that challenged me to prove that I am worth given the opportunity, I didn’t take it for granted, ” he  narrated his experience to NEWS-ONE.

Anthony Woode remains one of the country’s prolific actors doing well for themselves.

His peers in the movie industry refer to him as a method actor because of the immense effort and dedication he puts in bringing life into characters he plays in the movies.

He is best known for his spectacular performances in movies like ‘Announcement’, ‘Shampange’, ‘Husband 4 Daddy’, ‘Yelo Pepper’, ‘Watch Dogs’, ‘Breaking Dawn’ and Ghanaian popular series ‘Living with Trisha’.
