Ghana’s award-winning actor Adjetey Anang (Pusher) has earned rave reviews after starring in an action-packed movie ‘Cartel the Genesis’.
An American actor Johnny B who co starred with Adjetey in his recent movie described the actor as an intense, and professional actor.
“He is an intense actor I will say. He can really increase the intensity if he needs to and that’s something very good, this is not a great comparison but let’s say Robert de Niro” The American actor heaped praise in an exclusive interview with ‘let’s talk entertainment show’ on Joy News on Multi TV,
Hollywood great Robert de Niro starred in over 90 films.
Praised for his commitment to roles, stemming from his background in method acting, De Niro gained 60 lb (27 kg) and learned how to box for his role as Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull, ground his teeth for Cape Fear, lived in Sicily, Italy for The Godfather Part II.
