“Acting is a profession”: Filmmaker Sunny Okonkwo
"In a recent chat with Legit.ng, filmmaker Sunny Okonkwo spoke on whether it is always difficult for actors to separate personal feelings from bedroom scenes, or not.
"As someone who has spent years in filmmaking and storytelling, I think many people are reacting to the headline without appreciating what Kate Henshaw was actually highlighting. The real story here is not about a bedroom scene. It is about professionalism, trust, consent, and the discipline required to bring a character to life on screen. Kate's comments emphasised the importance of communication and mutual respect between actors when filming sensitive scenes. "One thing the public often forgets is that acting is a profession. What audiences see as a few minutes on screen can involve hours of preparation, boundaries being discussed, camera angles being carefully managed, and a team of professionals working to ensure everyone feels safe and respected. The ability of actors to separate performance from personal emotions is what distinguishes great professionals from amateurs.
"Kate Henshaw has remained one of Nollywood's most respected actresses for decades, not because of controversy, but because of her commitment to excellence and authenticity. Daniel Etim-Effiong has also built a reputation as a disciplined actor who takes his craft seriously. This conversation should encourage a broader appreciation of the professionalism that exists within Nollywood rather than reducing it to gossip. "As filmmakers, we should be celebrating the maturity of an industry that is increasingly embracing global standards around consent, actor welfare, and professional conduct. Behind every believable performance is preparation, trust, and respect. Those are the qualities that truly deserve the spotlight."
