Seasoned actor, producer and lawyer Richard Mofe Damijo has said actors are attracted by good stories before anything else.

RMD made this known during a panel discussion at the 2023 edition of the just-concluded Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF).

During the panel session moderated by actor, Enyinna Nwigwe, the star actor said while money may come afterwards, the first thing that gets an actor’s attention is the quality of the story.

“Actors are all suckers for good stories. Once the story is good, you have got the attention of the actor,” said RMD.

Speaking further, the 62-year-old actor also disclosed his willingness to act in student-owned movies.

He said: “If a student comes to me, I will never charge. I have done free films for students, for young producers, and for young actors. What actors want is a structure. There is nothing wrong with you calling my agent.

“If a student approaches me to star in a movie, I will even give the student money to shoot. If Enyinna Nwigwe tells me that he is working on his film, I will work with him based on the father-son relationship that we have.”
