When I Met Mthobisi Khanyile I Was Star Struck, Gobsmacked To Be Exact. It Was A Good Feeling To See Someone I Also Looked Forward To See Their Deliverance On A Sunday Evening On #IfalakheMzansi . I Grew Dumb When I Saw Him, I Called Him "Takudzwa" Something I Know Actors Aren't Fond Of But He Was Welcoming. It's True What They Say About Television Making You Bigger. His Fairly Short And So Humble, Not A Big Head You'd Assume He'd Be Because Of His Star Character On The Epic Telenovela.
From The Beginning Of #Ifalakhemzansi I Was Expecting A Revolution Of South African Production, And That's What I Exactly Got. Then Within The Midst Of A Beautiful Telenovela A Character By The Name "Takudzwa" Was Born. Mthobisi Khanyile Was Responsible For Serving Us Anything But Greatness On Our Screens. I Sit And Chat With Mthobisi About His Journey As An Upcoming Actor, And What Was It Like To Be Trusted With Such An ICONIC Role, The Rightful Hand Of An Unworthy Treacherous King.
Who Is Mthobisi ? Tell Me More About Yourself? Where Were You Born?
I was born and raised in KZN in the small rural area called Umbumbulu which is after Umlazi, there is no way to expain about myself rather then say am not talented but am a hardworker when it comes to anything including my work.
I started back in Primary, 2011 where i was doing grade 7. By that time we were only two who were doing art in the whole area
Your Conviction On "Takudzuwa's" Character Was Excellent, All Sorts Of Amazing. It Was Introduced And Gradually Grew Into This Master Piece Of The Story, Tell Me What Led You To This ?
Since Takudzwa was my first character on T.V at first i was lost on how i can potray him i may say i was confused at first because i have lots of people i look up to so i was not really sure which style should i use to play Takudzwa until Takudzwa the character demanded me to be myself and do what comes from the impulse so i must say when i decided to be me and do it my own way not the other way round.
Please Tell Me More About "Takudzuwa's Character? I Already Have My Own Idea Of What Kind Of Person He Was But I Wanna Heat It From You, You Put So Much Heart In That.
The guy is a very trust worthy guy even Mthobisi is not as him. So he is the kinda person you can trust a lot while am not "Chuckles". So i think we very different from each other. This guy can do whatever it takes for anyone to trust him i mean whatever it takes, hes stubborn.
What Are The Highs Of The Industry ?
The highs of the industry is that the industry is now open to new comers like us to show the world what We're capable off.
What Are The Lows In The Industry?
The lows of the industry is that the industry is not well taken seriously by the government, of which its the entity that can contribute more in the economy of the country and put the country on the map.
I got in ifalakhe freelancing and then this Agency was impressed with my perfomance then we spoke in such a way that we can work together. The is a lot comming from the boy...I am promising S.A that i am the next Denzel Washington. As i can not reveal for now the name of the character and the story i am sure Mzansi will also fall in love with what i will bring of which is different from Takudzwa
Is It About The Passion, Money Or Fame?
It about passion man thats the first thing. i will not say its not about the Fame and money i will be honest as much as i can because when i started i wanted to be famous and no one doesn't need money but one must not let the fame and money drive them but let only the passion to take over from everything
I Know That You're A Talented Young Being, Besides Acting? What Else Are You Up Too?
Beside acting am an Afro Pop singer of which is something i am working on with a certain company I am also a writter from poems and stories. I dance like nobody's business i do contemporary.
On The Last Episode Of #Ifalakhemzansi I Tweeted Why Did The Production "Stainless Tv" Keep Your Talent Away From Us? You Gradually Grew Into That Character, The Last Episode You Belted It. But Why, I Personally Felt I Needed To See You Reluctant Rebel Self Before You Even Killed Your Sister "Chamai" Which Is Played By Nomcebo Gumede.
Honestly i feel that i was living in someone life of which somebody had created it so its a question that i think writter of Ifalakhe should answer.
What Could You Tell An Aspiring Actor That Wants To Get A Break Like Yours, What Should They Do, What's At Stake And What's To Give?
Be unique as much as we have role models we see on t.v but never try to be the person you like. Sometimes this industry does not need you to have friends rather be alone and do what you believe in never be afraid of taking chances.
