Veteran Kumawood Actor, Agya Koo has revealed how he brought his colleague, Rose Mensah, popularly known as Kyeiwaa into the movie industry.
Speaking in a recent interview, Agya Koo revealed that he met Kyeiwaa during one of his concerts and was impressed with her performance.
He later spoke to a few people who got in touch and brought her to to where he is. However, since she didn’t have a place to sleep, her fellow actress, Mercy Aseidu offered her a place to sleep.
They then started acting together and that was how she became a household name.
In July 2008, he was awarded a National Award by then-Ghanaian President John Agyekum Kufuor.
Although he originally journeyed to Accra to sing. Agya Koo has been featured in many Ghanaian movies, 15 of which remain his favorite.
Avoiding the normal procedure of thoroughly reading a script before acting in films, he told Joy FM’s former morning show host Kojo Oppong Nkrumah that while actors and actresses are typically given scripts two weeks before they begin shooting, his God-given talent allows him to improvise without a script.
