Although Judas is typically seen as the antagonist, his actions are crucial to the narrative. She emphasized that, similarly, playing a negative character could be justified if it ultimately serves to inspire or positively influence the audience.“If a role has the power to impact someone’s life for the better, even if it involves being the 'bad girl,' I would take it on,” Ankomah explained.
