I guess Leila Djansi’s head is spinning as she constantly comes in contact with various Actors and Actresses who seem not to have a clue about what it takes to become a star.

The Ace Director/Scriptwriter seems to be far pushed by certain incidents and has therefore taking time to write her “professional frustration” down for Ghanaian Actors and upcoming ones to know what is really expected from them.

In her piece, she mentions Nadia Buari and Ama K Aberese as good actresses though she acknowledges that there are more out there unmentioned. Below is what Leila Djansi wrote down with the caption “A Scene In A Movie Can Make You A Star. Little Drops Of Water”

This is getting really redundant. I am almost disappointed. This note is to all my Ghanaian actors. Please, help me make sure they all read it.

Does Forest Gump bring any memories? anyone seen it? yeah? Remember “Uncle Bubba”? Uncle Bubba was played by Mykelti Williamson. (Brian Hastings on 24). He had one scene opposite Tom Hanks. Today he is known in every household as uncle bubba. One scene.

When I give an actor a script and they say things like: only these scenes? how many scenes?, there are a lot of scenes oh or will there be more scenes, I get discouraged working with the person. I feel you are not an actor. You have just settled into the profession not knowing why you are there or what it means. That to me translates into you can not understand and become a character.

“I want you to just relax, this won’t hurt at all.”

I could feel his breath wavering across my face, I remember the lingering smell of his cologne as he adjusted my chair back; it took me right back, back to when all this absurdity first began…

He spanked me hard on my buttocks. I remember screaming my little lungs out, and at the age of five, my lungs were not developed enough to emit a terrifying enough noise that could alert the neighbours of the anguish I was going through.

“Daddy no please, I’m sorry daddy please stop!” Tears upon tears cascaded down my face, and yet he wouldn’t stop- infact, the smacks and blows being rained upon my small and fragile body increased at a shockingly fast tempo.

At the tender age of five, although not completely aware of right and wrong yet, I knew this was an extreme form of punishment for a simple thing as not picking up my doll from the living room floor when he asked me to.
