So i had a little talk with Yonda Thomas(former class act contenstant) and asked him if i could do an interview about him to put up on my blog and he agreed!!. And this is how the mini interview went.....
1. So you were one of the Class Act finalist last year,tell me...how was that whole experience for you?
An Exciting, inspiring learning experience more than anything. Even though it was vigorous and emotionally challenging at times.
2. And you were eliminated when you were in the top 5 if my memory serves me
correct?...how did that make you feel?...did you feel like you left too early that you didn't get a chance to fulfil your full potential?
Potential is something I walked into the competition with and the whole point of the competition was to harness and mould that potential into something far greater than what it was. That Was the goal. So I guess the Question is, has my potential grown into something greater as a result of being in Class Act? We'll see.
3. After Class Act, you were probably jobless...how did you manage to keep on pushing?
Two names Mooneyeen Lee (My Agent) and Dorothy Ann Gould (Coach and Mentor).
4. So you graduating was just some form of security?
Security, I think not. It was more like Fear... Fear of what might happen if I took the risk of following my dream, fear of disappointing my Mother and fear of failure. I thought it was a safer option, so yes it was the secure option.
5. And then BAM!! There was Muvhango! Getting that role...how did it make you feel?
It gave me my confidence back. I feel at home when performing and it felt as though I had returned home.
6. I thought Muvhango was just a cameo role but we are actually seeing you quite often these days, so you are part of the Muvhango cast now?
They are a beautiful, talented Cast and working with them was an honour. I love telling Beautiful stories and Damon's story was beautiful, interesting and relevant. But every story has an ending... And you can only wish the ending will be just as beautiful.
7. So tell me, do you have a special lady in your life?...please be honest.
I like to keep my personal life, and the people in it, personal... Sorry.
8. Any other projects you are working on at the present moment?
I'm working on a brand new show titled "fallen" it will air on the 7th July 2011 on SABC1 at 20:30. Another great story, trust me.
9. 5 years time, where do you see yourself?
The most Bankable actor in South Africa.
10. Lastly, to all those who want to fulfil a career in acting, entertainment industry as a whole, what useful advice can you give them?
Let nothing stand in your way.
Good luck on everything that you are doing my guy!! May the grace of God be with you at all times.
All it takes is YOU, QHA KE!
