Kufuor's Son In A Scene With Joselyn Dumas

Society usually expects Presidential children (offspring of the First Family) to pursue particular careers � medicine, law, politics, big-time business etc. And yes, one of the sons of former President John Agyekum Kufuor, Mr Edward Agyekum Kufuor, has turned out to be a successful businessman. But his other job is what has raised many eyebrows. As unconventional as it may appear, the 45-year-old handsome buddy, Eddy, as he is usually called, is now a fledgling actor, who appears to be fast acquiring the feathers necessary for a supersonic flight to the zenith of the Ghanaian and, indeed, African and world movie class. He was recently �exposed� as a serious actor in Shirley Frimpong Manso�s popular Adams� Apples, a Sparrow Productions� television series, and the public excitement just ran wild. Incidentally, Adams� Apples is not the first and/or only movie in which Eddy has acted. He has featured in Double, Wrong Target, Tears of A Smile, Swag, No Pain No Gain, Soja Bar and The Pledge. He has also starred in some television series - Living with Trisha and yet to be released Daughters of Eve Season One. For his fine acting skills, the President�s son has a Ghana Movie Award Nomination on his curriculum vitae (CV) for Best Supporting Act (Male). His love for the screen also got him a role in a television commercial for Melcom. The Director of Adams� Apples and Managing Director of Sparrow Productions, Shirley Frimpong Manso, describes Eddy as a growing actor who is disciplined and business-minded, �although I do not believe that he lives off acting�. �He has a passion for acting and it shows in his work in Adams� Apples. Obviously his status as the President�s son does not get in his way as an actor and that is good,� Ms Frimpong Manso noted. Eddy plays Richard Blankson, the �Vice President� of the Republic of Ghana in Adams� Apples.
