Credible information reaching GhanaCelebrities.Com indicates that some A-list actors in Ghana have flopped at the ongoing auditions for the ‘The Spirited Actor’ – The Search For Africa’s Next Hollywood Star project at the National Theatre in Accra.

The names of the A-list actors will not be revealed now until the excerpts of the auditions start airing on Viasat1, the official TV station for the project.

According to our source at the audition, the flopped actors/actresses quickly had to approach the local representatives of the project to give them a second chance.

When refused, they then begged their auditions recordings not to be shown when the excerpts start showing on TV soon. Most of the flopped-so-called-established-actors are known faces in the movie industry. Some have featured in various series aired some years back, whiles some are also in series currently showing on TV.
