Frederick Leonard has appeared in so many Nollywood movies so it is pretty safe to consider him an authority to speak on the Nigerian movie industry. He has also spent so many years acting since he began his career in 2001.
The thespian recently stated clearly that people should love their jobs and that he doesn’t play around with his career.
In fact, he made the strong point that people should not play down the environment where actors do their movie sets just because it is not set up in an office environment.
It has been reported that some of the NollywoodCelebs play around on set and do not take the work environment seriously.
