The legendary actor is set to play a reverend.
By Omotayo Olutekunbi
Richard Mofe Damijo, Nollywood royalty, has debuted his next character in Bakia T. Thomas’ upcoming film ‘Cold.’
The 60-year-old actor said on Instagram that he had resisted the pull to become a pastor for many years, but that he ended up becoming one through make-believe.
“There was a time when for every other day or week, somebody would tell me they had a dream where they saw me as a pastor. Having taught Sunday school for over 15 years it was not far fetched,” RMD wrote.
“Besides every perceived Bad Boy is supposed to end up in full time ministry right? So, what did I do? Run! I’ve avoided the pulpit with trepidation. But just like Jonah, I continue to end up somehow in the belly of the calling where I have played a pastor or reverend father more than anything else in my acting life. God does have an amazing sense of humour. I’m not even sure as I write this if I’ve fully escaped the CALL! Until date I still frighten myself every time I’ve had to speak in a church because when I take the pulpit, the Holy Spirit takes over.
“And so once again I embark into a world of make believe where I play yet another man of God. I invite you on this epic cinematic journey into the spirt realm!”
