Actor In The Spotlight: AARON SUNDAY

"Every actor should have a strong selling point whether cute or ugly, fat or slim..."-Aaron
In a crowded industry where just having "that talent" isn't enough to take you to the next level, a lot of actors are devising ways, acquiring other skills and seeking platforms to take their career to the next level. Aaron Sunday is one massively talented actor who recognizes the above and is leaving no stone unturned in other to break-in. With a well chiseled body that would make a lesbian sister reconsider(hehehe), the actor cum fitness trainer sure knows the task ahead and isn't shying away from galvanizing all resources to cut short his ladder. Here is my chat with him. Enjoy.

ABOUT ME.
My name is Aaron Sunday! An actor, fitness trainer and a voice artist. I schooled in three different states, Plateau, Cross River and Lagos state. I'm Art inclined.

HOW I STARTED.
Well not a cliche though as everyone would say what am doing now first came to me in my dream (Acting). Way back I use to be a huge fan of Nollywood movies, I can watch a film and narrate to my peers in school from top to bottom, funny enough I was always shying away from the drama group because they always call on me for meetings and stuffs. But as the saying goes "No one knows tomorrow.

JOURNEY SO FAR.
It's been God all the while because I wouldn't say it's been rosy, going for several auditions and not getting call backs and stuff. It can be really frustrating though but if you have the passion and drive in you, you'll find yourself hoping and looking for the next audition notice. Regardless, it's been God."What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT SO FAR.
Wow! hahahaha. My greatest achievement so far would be seeing myself on screen and people accepting the fact that you re doing a great job by identifying with your craft. It really feels great. Also getting to stand on the same stage with other big names presenting awards to the winners on the 10th Anniversary of the prestigious award show ever in Africa, the Africa Movie Academy Awards AMAA. Thanks To the AMAA team and Mr. Fred Atigogo for that Opportunity. Humility is really a great key to success.

JOBS I HAVE DONE
I haven't done much but I like to establish my talent on quality stuff because I know what I can offer and a huge thanks to the people that gave my talent the opportunity to showcase. Karma(The Ripples),Tales Of Eve(Caged) Emerald, Night Raid, Savior, Yes I Don't, House Of Badmus, Two Sides Of A Coin, Allison Stand and Tomorrow Is More, College Boys etc.

ROLE I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY.

As Actor I believe someone who knows his or her craft very well should be able to pull off a role or character to it's tip. Any role that comes my way I believe I can give it my all.

MY SELLING POINT.

Every actor should have a strong selling point whether cute or ugly fat or slim, but you have to know yourself as an actor and what you stand for. And there should be something in you that stands you out from the rest. So for me I would say my voice and My body!"As an actor or a public figure, it is important to keep your tools in check all the time.
MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT.
Hmmmmm! my most embarrassing moment would when I first started acting, I got an opportunity to be on set with a top actress, I won't mention her name though, and I found myself missing lines like crazy(Intimidation) was not funny at all.

ACTORS I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH.

I like this part, well I have a couple of them that I would really love to work with in the nearest future, Locally I really admire the craft of this amazing people mrs Joke silva jacobs,Taiwo Ajayi Lycent, deyemi, Gideon Okeke, Blossom Chukwujekwu and Bimbo Akintola etc. And Internationally by God's grace Keanu Reeves, Channing Tatum and kerry washington.

MY BRAND IN THE NEXT 5 YEARS.

By the special grace of God I see my Brand Aaron Sunday doing amazing things."The purpose of our lives is to add value to the people of this generation and those that follow.

CRUSH ON AN FEMALE ACTOR.
Na! I don't have a crush just yet....but admire few of them.

ANTI-GAY LAW
My Opinion on this would be to each he's own,the decisions you make determines how you live your life and I also believe that "when you judge another,you do not define them, you define yourself."
TURNOFF
My worse turn in people would would be not been true to one another."Because if you are not true to yourself,you can't be true to people simple.

FEW WORD FOR ACTORS

I just have these words to fellow actors and fans...for you to successful in life or what you hold dear to your heart you need to have Humility Determination, Resilient, Drive and Passion.
Thanks for the opportunity am honored and humbled! God bless.
