A movie director needed
an extra to act a scene
which involves depicting
a gateman. So they
offered Akpos, who was
incidentally the gateman
at the house they were
filming, to play the role.
The director gave Akpos
a cutlass and told him to
give a pretence chase
behind the ‘main actor’
who was playing the
role of a thief.
The director said to
Akpos, “When you hear
“action”, start chasing
this guy with the cutlass.
Do you understand?”
Akpos nodded in
affirmation. Immediately
the Director shouted
“Action”, Akpos did
exactly as he was told
and started chasing the
other actor round the
compound.
As the actor was about
to scale the fence, the
director screamed,
“Cut!
Cut! Cut!"
The actor is presently
recuperating in the
hospital.
