“Well, policy making is one part of what I believe. We tend to just sit and complain a lot. If you have the capacity or the opportunity and sit back and complain then you are not part of the solution; you are part of the problem,” he said.
The actor maintained that, “So if the opportunity comes up, and it is not just being in a certain position, it is just doing whatever you can in your little area to make a change in the right direction”.
Mr Edward Kufuor who made his debut theatre performance in 1986, insisted that, industry players must attach some level of seriousness to the acting profession in Ghana.
