Van Vicker- Does His Talent Measures Up?

blank

Van Vicker is indisputably one of the most recognized faces in Gollywood. Outside Africa, he is especially famous among the Caribbean. My Trinidadian and Jamaican friends can’t seem to get enough of him; they ooh and aah, and giggle when watching his movies.

So besotted are they that, they are always the first in line to grab a copy of any new movie of his, I know this for a fact because they do get special “alert” whenever a new Van Vicker movie is instock.blank

To write this article I did a little questioning around, YES! To back up my observation. I asked Africans and Caribbean movie watchers alike. Anytime I asked what they think about him all they talked about was how sexy he is. “He is sooo sexy, ohh have you seen his luscious lips Girl?” I always answered “no” to keep them talking and for what seems like hours they kept rumbling on and on about his sexiness, but none of them commented on his skills as an actor and some even admitted to watching his movies base on his cuteness.

However, when I did ask them about Ramsey Noah, most of them commented on his good acting skills in addition to his looks minus that suspicious thinning spot on his head of course. This article is not a comparison between the two actors nor is it an attack on Van Vicker as an actor, but an artistic and fair opinion of his acting skills.

I recognize talent when I see one, but when I watch his movies his performances usually leaves much to be desired. I have held the hope that given time and much practice he will improve but I am yet to see a dazzling performance from him. In terms of skills he hasn’t lived up to the level of hype surrounding him. The last time I checked, stiff, emotionally expressionless, predictable and parallel acting does not constitute a good actor. Let’s all be real here and call a spade a spade.

My judgment is not clouded nor swayed by looks, but is constructive in the sense that it is meant to encourage and be a medium for improvement. I can’t say for a fact that he is relying on his looks to propel him forward, but if that is the case he needs to critically reevaluate his approach because it is only going to take him thus far.

  1. Chris,
    What gives you any right to question or criticize Van?. What’s your qualifications anyway? I’ve read most of the garbage you write on this site and I just pity for you. Trying so hard to be famous by writing shits about hard working people. Those of us who know Van will defend him. Yes he’s been blessed with good looks so what? If you want your readers to take you serious then you should earn it you idiot!

  8. i put is to all of u who thinks Majid is a better Actor than. Why is that Van became bigger than Majid? Remeber, the first film both did, Majid actually had the Lead Role. Van was cast as the supporting Male Actor. After that Film, Van became King of Nollywood. When it comes to romantic movies, Van has no number two. He’s just tooooooo good. AMjid speaks as someone who’s reading a Shakespear Novel. Pls, Pls. Some people in naija stared booking Majid cos they Said Van was becoming too big. It did nothing to Van, Instead he even became bigger.

  9. I agree with the writer, Van’s look can only take him so far. If he is that of a good actor, he should come to Hollywood and try. Afterall he has mentioned that it is his dream. He cannot make it there because the competition will be too much for him. He si popular among blacks because of his skin color. There is no need to be nasty and cause people out. I read some of the comments and some people seems very angry. It is no big deal. Van is using his looks to make money and frankly I applaud him. One should use whatever he can to bring food on the table including looks until it runs out.

  11. That is the burden that comes with being beautiful or handsome. People always seem to have some sort of problem- take Nadia for instance, ” oh she’s beautiful because of her skin color”, You take Jackie ” oh that’s natural beauty” that’s what I’ve noticed.Let’s be honest now the dude can act. Let’s take a student who a teacher knows, ” oh he/she earns good grades ’cause he/she knows the teacher”, it’s just like that. If he was unattractive, there would be no problem. Let’s look at it this way , his good looks make him even more recognized as an awesome actor.
