INTRODUCTION
1.0 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The society often confuses the
personality of the character the actor is playing with his true character,
thereby evaluating him or she based on what they see on stage or screen.
The role of the actor is quite
different from his person in real life. What the actor does is to pass a
message across to the society, as Njamah rightly observes:
It
has not really changed much. It has only made me to be artistic, people have
this mentality that actresses are promiscuous, but they forget that they are
only trying to pass a message across the people (2002, 23)
In
the same vein Eucharia Anuobi in defense of her personality and that of her
fellow actors and actresses says that the role an actor plays in a movie does
not reveal who he or she is in actual life. An angel can play a devil in a film
and vice vasa (2002, 3).
Furthermore, the Nigerian society ranks
the actor nowhere near people in other profession, forgetting that each
profession has its role to play in the service of mankind. Because of the
contribution of the actor towards human and national development, these is need
to educate the people on the real nature of actors and acting and by so doing
correct the misconceptions about actors and their professions. It is hoped that
this study which examines the personality of the actors will meet the above
need.
On the Nigerian actors and the society,
some of them are written by scholars. A greater number of them, however, are
written by journalist who has little or no idea of the actors.
This study is therefore, significant
because it attempt an in-depth study of the personality of the Nigerian actors
as seen by the society and the actor himself. It will therefore enlighten the
society on the true personality of the actor. This work will hopefully
contribute to the dispute between the actor and the society on the formers
personality.
It will serves as an encouragement for
young aspiring actors who wish to take up the profession as a career. It will
also enlighten parents on the personality status of the actor and serves as
consolation to the actors, that at least somebody somewhere has their interest
at heart. Finally, it is hoped that this paper will serves as a reference
material for further research in this area.
1.1 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The acting profession has been grossly
misunderstood and the personality of the actor misrepresented. Actors are
looked at as irresponsible people and the acting profession seen as a less
liable and dignified one. These call for a good probe into the personality of
the actor and the moral liability of his profession. This study therefore
attempts to educate the public on the virtues of the profession and the true
personality of those in it.
1.2 SCOPE OF STUDY
This work examines the personality of
the actor in relation to the roles he/she plays in productions. It explains the
mistaken notions about the actor and his professions and tries to correct the
notions. The work also appraises the challenges of the acting profession and
the problems confronting actors and making them behave the way they do. It also
recommends solutions to the problem.
1.3 SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
This study is carried to inform and
educate the people. On acting on an art, this research work will also make the
people understand that acting in an art (imitation) and not real. So a role
played by an actor on science or stage in quite different from that persons
real life.
1.4 JUSTIFICATION OF STUDY
The justification of study is to X-ray
(look into) the “Nigerian actor and the personality question. This is to the
reactions of Nigerian actors and how the society finds themselves to accept
them. It is also to correct the misconception people have about acting and
artist. Rather in there to mirror the society and show the ills of the society.
1.5 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Due to the nature of this research,
data collection and analysis are based on two sources. These are primary and
secondary sources. Interviews were conducted on the topic and some actors were
watched or studied closely over a good period of time. Books, journals and
articles on the actor and his personality and role were consulted. The researcher’s
personal experience as an actor-trainee was also very useful.
