What was your experience on your first movie set?
 I go to learn that Acting is a lot of work, requires so much..

Who are the actors you always want to work with?
Muyiwa Ademola, because he encourages me and he assures me I can do it; Odun Adekola because he is not afraid to tell you when he is fascinated by you(like he told me on the set of Mufu Olosha Oko) and that is a very strong encouragement which you seldom get as an upcoming artiste, most people don't want to tell you you are good so other people don't notice you; Femi Adebayo because with him, acting just flows naturally, we worked together on the set of Onika Mesan and he treated me like an equal, not a junior colleague. From him I learned a new definition to the word "Humility". I will forever be grateful to these people for never looking down on me and for making me feel I was doing something meaningful.
