Nollywood actor and model Tobi Bakre has spoken on the importance of professionalism in the entertainment industry. The actor, while speaking on the Menisms podcast, stressed the need for young actors to approach tasks with seriousness.
Bakre explained that life-changing opportunities often result from maintaining high standards in minor roles. He noted that how an individual handles small opportunities will determine how doors will open for bigger opportunities.
“To our colleagues out there, to our younger ones… it doesn’t matter what you are doing, just do it well. It doesn’t matter what you are doing, just do it well. You don’t know who is watching. You know, God has sent people several times, and you didn’t show them anything, so please show something. There are opportunities I will give to someone who I know washes cars, but I see the diligence, the seriousness, and the commitment in how they do what they do. I could put them in charge of a company once I see just how they’re handling that little thing,” he said.
