Amidst the debate of who a good actor is, Kofi Asamoah who is the brain behind hit comedy series ‘Kalybos’ says Ghanaian film makers should focus on providing good content and story lines.

Actor Samuel Ofori lambasted English-speaking actors for doing a mediocre job; but in a rebuttal, Kofi Asamoah, says actors act according to instructions of the director and he doesn’t believe English-speaking actors recite poetry as Samuel Ofori claims.

Samuel Ofori criticized his English-speaking colleagues while reacting to attacks that the local-language movie industry, known as Kumawood produces poor movies.

Kofi Asamoah disclosed on Hitz’s ‘’Entertainment This Week with MzGee”, that; “some movie scripts require that they are recited exactly as they are.

But in many cases, actors have room to express themselves using the script as merely a guide.

Kofi Asamoah popularly known as Kofas does not believe actors need to obtain professional training to excel in the movie industry.

He maintains that some people are talented enough to slot into acting and grow on the job.

“There are people who naturally come out talented.…when you put them in a certain character they will deliver”.

The young film maker noted that “it is possible to find many professionals whose acting skills are bad”.

Kofi Asamoah believes the focus of film-making in Ghana should be good content and not professionally trained actors.

“I rather think we should be able to make our screen plays better, a lot more interesting and engaging so that even when an actor is reciting, it will look real and believable” Kofas said.

Which are your favorite Ghanaian movies, the Akan ones or the English speaking ones?
