Big Brother Naija reality TV Star , Uriel Oputa, confidently asserted her acting prowess during a recent interview on Cool FM, stating that she believes she is a superior actor compared to some contemporary Nollywood actresses.<\/p>\n
In her words, Uriel shared, “A lot of people, especially filmmakers, have approached me to be in movies. I consistently receive invitations to venture into acting through my DMs and email. I am confident in my abilities as an actress; in fact, I dare say I am probably better than some of the actresses in Nollywood right now. And that’s just me being real. In addition to possessing a natural artistic instinct, I also studied drama in the UK. So, I am well aware that I am quite a skilled actor.”<\/p>\n
Despite the numerous opportunities that have come her way, Uriel revealed that she has turned down several acting gigs in Nigeria. She explained her decision, stating, “I\u2019ve been approached by a lot of people to get into acting, but I\u2019ve always turned them down. The reason I declined acting roles in Nigeria is because, firstly, you’re often pigeonholed into a particular role; secondly, some of the scripts are too predictable; and thirdly, the compensation for these roles is often inadequate.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
