Forgetting my lines on stage was the most embarrassing moment of my career –  Adjetey Anang 

Especially young artists and actresses, veteran Ghanaian actor Adjetey Anang has counseled against thinking that their skill alone would carry them to the top of their field.

The “Things We Do for Love” actor made this claim in an exclusive interview with on Ultimate 106.9 FM’s Saturday entertainment program, Entertainment Records.

“Talent is raw, it’s merely nature’s gift to man, thus it has to be developed,” he said.

Adjetey stressed the need to develop one’s ability via the acquisition of a skill in order to make the most of it.

A person’s “raw talent” can only carry them so far, but “the skill has enough ways through which one can ride on to the top,” he said.

Adjetey Anang related a painful anecdote of a time when he had been overconfident in his abilities and had blanked out on stage because he hadn’t done his homework before a performance.

“I can’t forget that experience at the National Theatre, I forgot my lines entirely..”

As a reminder, Adjetey Anang is a Ghanaian actor, popularly known as “Pusher”, which was his screen name in the television series Things We Do for Love.

He has been featured in many Ghanaian movies, including “Deadly Voyage”, “A Sting in a Tale”, “The Perfect Picture” and others.
