A reality star and actor, Tayo Faniran has outlined specific conditions under which he would consider accepting an acting role.

During a recent interview on Hip TV, the Big Brother Africa runner-up expressed his interest in particular roles depicted in movie scripts.

Faniran emphasized that the nature of his character in a film is the crucial factor he considers.

He said, “First thing I look out for when I’m giving a script is my positioning in the story. I think I’m a leading man.

“I have all it takes to be a lead actor. And apart from that, I just love to be the best in what I do. I’m looking for a character that is going to showcase my potential. And in most cases, it’s always the lead character or the supporting lead character.

“The second thing I look out for is that I don’t want to be stereotyped. I don’t like maybe every script that comes, play boy or lover boy, or bad guy or something like that. I like to look for diversity; something that will give me the leverage to show my flexibility.

“And then I look out for the people producing the film as well. The class of the film. Is it going to go out? Are people going to see it? Is it going to add something to my career? Then I consider the money. Is the money worth my time? I’m a businessman, I’ve other things to do. So, I just weigh it down. Even if it’s not about the money, it should be worth my time.”

Tayo Faniran, known for his appearance in Amazon Prime Video's African original series 'Gangs Of Lagos,' made a remarkable debut in the blockbuster.

Released in April, Faniran portrayed the character of Ninalowo, also known as Nino, a notorious yet compassionate gang leader in Isale Eko.
