Popular Nigerian actor Stan Nze has described putting his life in danger for a film role as “stupidity,” emphasizing the importance of role interpretation in Nollywood.
In an interview with The Nation, Nze explained that it would be unwise to risk his safety to excel in acting when trained stunt performers are available and well-compensated for dangerous scenes.

He said, “Why would I risk my life jumping from a dangerous height in a movie? Jumping characters are done by stunt guys. That’s their job. They are called stunt actors who are well paid for such roles. They have the experience of how to jump and do other things.
“I’m not going to be foolish and jump a dangerous height just because I want to be the best actor in Africa, and the people go do one minute of silence and then move on, it is stupidity.
“I will only do the ones I’m meant to do, so that the stunt men can do their job too.”
