JOEL IGBEN
I have had a passion for acting since I was 12 years old and soon found out I could memories my lines quickly, I gained a chance to work with Disney after I won a competition to get personal training and then possibly an agent from them. The one thing that held me back was money. I spent most of my high school doing plays before moving to CICA a few years later, CICA was an all-African theatre group and I dedicated as much energy as I had towards it for the few years I worked in it. I was given a certificate of appreciation and a few gifts on the year I decided to try and focus on education. The next year In 2023 I managed to land a role on a upcoming online series called 41 Amber road. We recorded some footage for a proof of concept but sadly it never launched. I decided to spent time working and saving in the hopes that maybe America has more in acting for me and set off with 21k I ended up returning disappointed due to the acting scene being on strike. I am deeply passionate about acting and i excel at brotherly roles or roles which are playful and light-hearted, but I love roles where I must play a morally gray character or people who have a strange yet relatable depth even if they aren’t morally correct. I managed to land a role onto an upcoming movie though it was sadly postponed as of now. I will continue to chase acting long into my years and I’m eager to learn how to be a better actor.
