David Dontoh is one of Ghana’s iconic actors who paved way for the Ghanaian movie industry to thrive, however, he doesn’t want to be described as a veteran.
According to the award-winning Ghanaian actor and film director, he is still actively active in the filmmaking industry, hence, he doesn’t appreciate narratives or descriptions that make it seem that he has retired from acting.
The 58-year-old is arguing that it is easy for a person of old age to still be on the job provided he or she can walk and speak.
The 58-year-old’s career kicked in 1980 after seeing a NAFTI advert inviting potential actors to come forward for training in stage and film acting.
The versatile actor is best known for his long term role as “Ghanaman”, in the popular “Ɔbra” series which was popular in the 80s and 90s. Mr Dontoh is among the actors who switched to TV presenting, a career path that has been common for many Ghanaian actors today.
