"I Want To Feature In African Movies" - CAROLINE CHIKEZIE

Caroline Chikezie, a Nigerian British born actress, has indicated her love for African movies, and says she's ready to feature in any one of them if given the opportunity.
. Caroline, 5 ‘10’, was born on February 19, 1979, in London, to Nigerian parents. .
A household name in the British film industry, she is probably most famous for playing the role of ‘Sasha Williams’ in the British teen soap, As If, from 2001 to 2004. She has also played Elaine Hardy in the British television drama, Footballers’ Wives.
She appeared as Lisa Hallett, a member of the secret organisation of Torchwood who had been transformed into a half-human half-Cyberman in “Cyberwoman,” an episode of the Doctor Who spin-off series Torchwood. She also starred as Nasuada in the movie Eragon and as Tamara, a fellow demon hunter, in the third Season Premiere of Supernatural.
The youngest of four children, Caroline was raised in London by her mother. Her father made regular visits to the UK.
According to information available to Star Weekly! Caroline went to a private Catholic girls’ school in Forest Gate in London, but spent weekends at the famous Italia Conti stage school.
“I was always singing and dancing around the house, and in the beginning, my parents thought it was quite cute because I’d put on little shows for their friends. But when it started to get serious, they were not amused," she said.
According to her, the ambition to make a career in the UK movie would have come to nought, if the antics her parents had employed to dissuade her from pursuing her career when she was 14 years old had materialised. Her family were so appalled by her career choice that they tricked her into leaving the UK. They were determined to midwife her into the medical profession after her father, who runs a hospital in Anambra State in Nigeria, planned and packed her off to a strict boarding school in Nigeria.
Twelve night on, the talented actress has not only stamped her name into the British entertainment industry but is now bent on featuring in African movies.
Nollywood producers, over to you.
