What happens when passion meets the reality of making a living as an actor?
In this episode of Inside Acting Conversations, actors Six Nyamane and Lunga Mofokeng sit down for an honest, actor-to-actor conversation about the craft, the business and the realities of surviving a career in the South African entertainment industry.
Six reflects on her experience studying acting for screen, her journey through productions including Generations and Homecoming, and the experience of working alongside Thembinkosi Mthembu. She also speaks candidly about learning the hard way that passion needs to be accompanied by an understanding of your value — particularly after undercharging for her work early in her career.
Lunga takes us through his own journey, including being Six's senior at school, becoming a household name through his six-year run as Andile Dikana on The River, and the painful reality of experiencing a prolonged period without work.Today, Lunga plays Mr Q on Skeem Saam — a character worlds apart from Andile — and speaks about the gratitude that comes with finding work again, while continuing to evolve as an actor.This is a conversation about craft, money, identity, rejection, resilience, reinvention and the uncomfortable realities behind the glamour of the industry.
