In this past week’s show, the last four contestants were tasked with “Romantic Period Piece”; joined by actor/celebrity Erica Ash (
Real Husbands of Hollywood and
Survivor Remorse), the actors embarked on the hardest challenge to date. While Suntele, Miller and Khayo rose to the challenge, an emotional Tobechi Nneji (Nigeria) failed to make the cut.
As they approach the final hurdle, the three finalists will be tasked with their final challenge, “Action Movie”, in which they will have to pull out all the stops to convince the judges that they deserve the
Top Actor Africa crown.
Commented Suntele, “I feel really excited and blessed to have made it this far. At first I was simply overjoyed by the fact that I made it to the top 12. Winning the entire competition was still just a dim idea I had in the back of my mind. I just thought the show would be a great platform to learn how to become a better actor and to expose my talent to the world.”
Added Khayo, “Finally my art has been internationally recognised, making it to top 3 is as good as a win, now more than ever it all makes sense that hard-work and prayers truly work. I see this as an opportunity to showcase my acting ability, having tackled every single genre in acting, I can literally walk onto a set and confidently put up a performance of a lifetime.”
Concluded Miller, “I am so grateful to be part of this programme and making it to top 3 has built my confidence in the craft. As an aspiring actress this platform will enable and open great opportunities in the industry. The experience in
Top Actor Africa is incredibly challenging but so great and I have learnt so much in this short time.”
