Yaw Dabo said he was determined to make it in the industry at all cost

He mentioned how he used to spend indefinite amounts of time on set so that they won’t give his role to someone

Ghanaian diminutive actor Yaw Dabo said before he ventured into the movie industry, watching Nigeria’s Aki and Pawpaw gave him hope that he could also succeed despite his size.

According to him, this was the mindset he got his career with, so nothing could scare him away from the job.

Yaw Dabo recounted how he had to spend months and even longer periods on set to secure his role at all costs.

According to Yaw Dabo, he had to work his way through the less popular movie productions before earning a spot on the bigger sets with known celebrities. In an interview with Akrobeto, he said:

“I started shooting with the “Poole” music before my brother Papa Kumasi linked me to my father, Jones Agyemang. Jones Agyemang is my godfather. He led me to Kophas.”

Yaw Dabo said his determination to succeed stretched his resolve to work hard towards his goal.

“I was determined to make it in the movie industry and become a star. Because I was looking at Wayoosi, Aki and Pawpaw, that was the same strategy I planned to use in acting because I could see that comic actors were in demand.”
