Nollywood actor, Stan Nze, has made it clear that he cannot risk his life while playing a movie role, insisting such would amount to “stupidity”.
He made this known recently during an interview with The Nation, while speaking about role interpretation in Nollywood.
According to him, it would be foolish of him to put his life at risk in a bid to become the best actor when he is not a “stunt actor”.

Nze argued that roles that are considered dangerous are played by thespians who are well paid and trained to perform stunts in the movie industry.
Speaking during the chat, he said, “Why would I risk my life jumping from a dangerous height in a movie? Jumping characters are done by stunt guys. That’s their job. They are called stunt actors who are well paid for such roles. They have the experience of how to jump and do other things.
“I’m not going to be foolish and jump a dangerous height just because I want to be the best actor in Africa, and the people go do one minute of silence and then move on, it is stupidity.
“I will only do the ones I’m meant to do, so that the stunt men can do their job too”.
