Veteran actor Sam Adjeteyfio played the role of taxi driver
Five personalities from the Ghanaian scene told the story of the hit comedy series Taxi Driver in a tribute to talent and creativity.
The Psalm Adjeteyfio, "T.T", was a Ga teacher who had been deceived after his work. He was considering his next move to Tema when Emmanuel Appiah, who would direct the comedy, approached.
"Emmanuel Appiah came from London, he dyed his hair as if many people had eaten palm nut soup and rubbed their hands in their hair," he told the Joy on Friday. FM Super Morning Show.
Emmanuel Appiah, whom he called "genius", launched the idea of daily encounters with hilariously exaggerated taxi drivers in a television comedy.
"I did not know how to drive," he recalled his handicap for the role. But the talent of "T.T" did not allow him to say no.
Enter the lean asterisks.
A few months before landing a role in Taxi Driver, an accident involving a taxi had brought him to the hospital.
He will spend seven months recovering, including four in a hospital bed. It was during one of the rehearsals at the GBC with the Royal Theater's performers that he drew Scouting's attention Emmanuel Appiah
And give him a role in the television series where his constant cough marked him laughing.
Two downstairs, three to do.
Pattington Papa Nii Papafio, the pompous belly-bellied man, entered Taxi Driver after appearing quite regularly in Adult Drama.
Known in real life under the name of Henry Harding, the actor also belonged to the troupe of the Royal Theater Company and originally had to get through the series by playing pieces.
His talent could not play a small role, as his ability to use intimidating big English words – too long to make sense – had turned out to be a popular hacker.
"I hope that the omnipresent concomitance of the Lord concerning philanthropism will be with us in all our businesses," he said during the interview with Daniel Dadzie.
Entering George Quaye who played the role of a crafty nephew for the taxi owner driven by T. T., characterized by the word "Aboagye", his role required a skilled actor in the twi language.
George says that he was not proficient in Twi. He was competent in trust.
He had repeated his acting skills in a theater troupe formed by the legendary David Dontoh.
He remembers his audition where more than a hundred potential actors gathered at the Communications Village in Accra.
His first question was "Can you speak Twi? He gave more than an affirmative answer by challenging the judges to say "if you like to send everyone back here and pick me up".
Of course, they did not send anyone away, but they chose him to his surprise because it was his only question for the audition. The director was looking for an actor speaking twi, who would boast stereotypes of Asante.
His leader in comedy was the always funny radio presenter, the favorite of the announcer, Mikki Osei Berko, "Master Richard". Emmanuel Appiah, again enlightened, watched a play starring Mikki.
"Who is this guy?" Asked Emmanuel Appiah. The rest has been found in several Taxi Driver episodes that turn on GTV in a period of authentic Ghanaian creativity, which some people think is a nostalgic past.
"It was a perfect cast," said "Master Richard," nodding to his colleagues' badent. "Aboagye still feels like my nephew," he said, hinting that it was really possible to believe in imitation.
He expressed his sadness that shows like Taxi Driver have ended. "This show has opportunities around the world," revealed the popular actor who stoked fires of renewal.
In praise of Ghana 's ability to boost tourism, he remembered sitting on a bus abroad and being identified by Indians.
"Master Richard" urged young actors and future actors to focus on getting a formal education in the field of acting, emphasizing that talent was not enough.
"Would you accept someone who calls himself a talented doctor?", He pleaded in favor of pursuing graduate studies in theater and theater.
He said that in his case, he honed his talent through constant practice and mentoring. But for his role, even these two may not have been enough.
His Ashanti blood was the icing on the cake, the man got into his taxi driver character where a great pride and thick threats put him aside for laughter.
Features that have never left so far.
