They went down well with me, because personally I prefer to play challenging roles.
I didn’t have to sleep with the dog because every producer who has worked with me knows that. If I take up a script and I come across a role I feel that I cannot do, I will discuss with the producer to play it down with me.
Tina Amuziam 2 “That was what I did with Kenneth Nebue, the owner of Glamour Girls, NEK Video Links , then. When I saw that I was going to be on the bed with a dog, I had to dialogue with him to play it down, which he did. I didn’t have to go near the dog, they were taking it differently.” “He was an understanding producer, because some of them will say that is the way I want my story or that is the way I want the picture and if you say that what I will do is leave the set.
“When I came in at first, I saw the dog on the bed twisting its tongue, I was like God (laughter), I was like what the hell (laughter) and my mentor, my uncle Christian Chika, who was the director, laughed and laughed.” “He asked what is that and I said no, I won’t go near that dog. Of course, I had discussed it with Nebue and he laughed, he agreed with me that we will take the dog separately and you separately.”
