Nollywood Actor and reality TV star, Tayo Faniran, has revealed why most film directors love having him work on set.

In a recent interview, the 2014 Big Brother Africa runner-up talked about the significant influence his physical attractiveness has had on his acting career.

The Actor said that his towering height of six feet four inches, broad shoulders, and dark skin helped him secure major roles in the movie industry.

Faniran continued by talking about the visual appeal he brings to the screen even when he isn’t talking.

The actor did point out that his looks are not the only reason for his success. He emphasized on his effort in improving his acting skills.

In his words;

“Let’s say my looks have contributed to the kind of roles I get. I am six feet four inches. I’m really tall and I have broad shoulders. I am dark-skinned as well. Those things, put together, already make me a super attractive personality for TV. If you see me on the screen, even without me talking, you would love to look at me.

We (actors) must attract the viewers to what we are showcasing, whether it’s storytelling, reality, or whatever it is. However, that’s not all there is to it. There are good-looking people on TV who are not good actors. I want to be a proper and versatile actor that can deliver, whether as a mechanic, farmer, or headmaster.”
