Prince Nwafor Biography
Prince Nwafor is an established name in Nollywood; he has been in the industry since 2003, slowly working his way up the ladder, and today is one of the faces most recognizable in the industry because of the sheer number of films he has featured in, and most of them are actually very popular.
Prince Nwafor has lined up with some of the biggest stars that Nollywood has ever produced, he has also had a long and fruitful career which has seen him become one of the poster boys of the industry. But how did he come to become an actor?
Early Life
Prince Nwafor was born in Enugu State, Nigeria on 18th of August 1977. He was born into the large, Christian family of Mr. and Mrs. Nwafor, and grew up running around on the streets of his city, like any other child. He attended primary and secondary schools in Enugu State, and then went on to study Theatre Arts at the Abia State University.
Unfortunately, not much is known about his family background, he has done well in concealing information about his parents and siblings who are believed to live in Enugu State, Nigeria.
Career Development
As mentioned above, Prince studied Theatre Arts at the Abia State University, and so he must have already had the passion for the art since a young age. He certainly received practical as well as classroom training for the profession, and when he was through with school he was immediately ready for life as an actor.
Information available to us shows that he registered with the Actors Guild of Nigeria as far back as 2003. He registered at the Enugu branch of the Guild. He was 26 years old at the time, and was presumably fresh out of school.
After registering with the Actors Guild, he started the painstaking process of going for auditions wherever they were happening. That took him to places like Lagos, Delta, and Anambra States. Eventually his tenacity was rewarded with small roles such as the palace guard, house boy, body guard, servant, and so on.
Many people remain skeptical of this fact because they did not have much reason to pay much attention to his face at that time.
Prince Nwafor soon gave the world a reason to remember his face when he starred in the movie titled Forgive Me Father, which was done in 2009. He was the lead character in that movie, and he wowed audiences with his comic act, and his natural ability to make people laugh.
That movie launched him into reckoning as one of the young actors to watch out for; and opened the door for many other roles to come. The result is that today, he is one of the famous actors; one of the most seen faces in the Nigerian movie industry.
Prince is like a bridge between the old Nollywood and the New Era; he started early enough to rub shoulders with the old; and still has so much to offer, which is why he is a top star even today. Some associated acts include: Osita Iheme, Chioma Chukwura, Chiwetalu Agu, Sam Loco Efe, Sonia Uche, Enock Darko, Emma Emordi Daniels, Rita Edochie, and Destiny Etiko.
