In this interview with Nollywoodgossip Making Stars, the young and easy going actor shares his dreams. Excerpts:
What are you working on right now?
Right now, I’m starting up a film Production Company amidst other things. That’s the future for me. I have a desire to produce movies and films that would meet internationally accepted standards; from the story, screenplay, cinematography, directing, editing, attention and creativity to every other aspects of production. But in the meantime, I’m involved in other productions as an actor.
Please tell us a little about yourself?
My names are Kingsley Christopher Reuben Bassey. I’m from Cross River State, commonly known as Calabar which happens to be the capital city of the state. But I lived most of my adult life in Lagos state.
Tell us about your previous works?
In 2003, I acted in Slaves of Lust and Desires. Then, I left the scene for a while and went back to school. When I finished from school, I worked for a while. And later, I started my own business so as to have the time to go back to acting. Because I knew that I wouldn’t have time for acting if I stick with a regular 9-5 job. But I needed money to pay the bills while I build a career in Nollywood, so I decided to start a service company. I’m into Brand Communication Services.
How many movies have you appeared in?
I’ve featured in 3 movies and 5 TV productions so far.
Which of your roles is the most challenging?
My role in a new TV production that’s not yet out. It required a lot of show of emotions. It’s one program I can’t wait to see on air. The title is, School, and it was produced by Manuel Productions.
What are the names of the movies you have featured in?
Some of my movies are, White Hunters and the concluding part Return of White Hunters. And some of my TV series are, about to wed, Madam Export, Living in Lagos, and many others.
Which known Nollywood stars have you worked with?
I’ve worked with Mercy Johnson, Funke Akindele, Ini Edo, and John Njamah.
How and when did you get into Acting?
I got into acting when I was a little boy. I used to do drama in the church. But professionally, it was in 2003. A friend invited me to an audition at Surulere, I still remember that clearly. It was an audition by Black Gold Production owned by Pius Okugbere. I’m not sure if he is still in the business though.
Tell us about your first audition.
Oh my Gosh. I was very nervous. I got a script and was given time to learn it. And when I was called, ten minutes later, to do the scene with another actress, I didn’t feel ready. My hands were shaky and sweaty. But I delivered at the end and the producer was impressed. I didn’t have to read twice. I got penciled down for a role and that was very encouraging.

What were you doing before you entered into acting?
I finished High School in 1999 and ventured into music. I had been in the choir before that, but I started learning to play musical instruments while doing several odd jobs on the side.
Tell us about your venture into music?
My band had a large repertoire. We played all kinds of nice music; from African rhythms to country and jazz. We were just having fun doing what we enjoyed.
Is this your first ever international magazine interview?
That’s correct
Let’s talk a little about your love life. Are you married or seeing someone?
I’m seeing someone.
Tell us about the lucky girl?
(Laughs) actually, I’m the lucky guy. She is just amazing. I can fill volumes telling you about her. But I’ll just say she is simply amazing and we are in a good place in our relationship right now. She’s very supportive, understanding, caring and loving.
What are the qualities you like in a woman?
The ones I just mentioned (laughs), plus, I have to find her beautiful and attractive.
Tell us one thing that people don’t know about you.
A lot of people think I’m too confident or pompous, but that’s not true. I only seem that way when I’m acting it.
When you blow, don’t forget that Nollywoodgossip gave you your first ever international interview.
I can’t forget that. I feel great.
Is there anything I didn’t cover that you still want to add?
Maybe we should leave the rest for later when you have to interview me again and like you said; I go soon blow…hahaha.
Nollywoodgossip wishes you all the best.
Thank you so much.
