Ekow Blankson before his death revealed that discovered his talent for acting and other creative activities in class two.
On the Y Leaderboard Series with Rev. Erskine, Ekow shared, “I realized that I found myself enjoying the creative arts more and it has lived with me ever since the days of class two all the way to Adisadel College to the university and it is still with me.”
The actor shared an interesting account of how his elder brother used to express his displeasure at his [Ekow's] involvement in school cultural activities during those days.
However, that did not deter him from pursuing his passion. He added that even when he had the option of pursuing law at the university, he still chose to sharpen his skills in the creative arts.
“My elder brother used to beat me a lot because I did not know how to play football. I was mostly with my mother in the kitchen but one thing I was doing which my brother didn’t like was cultural performances in school. I was getting involved in cultural performances, poetry and drama and he didn’t like it."
The actor shares that he has no regret in the pursuit of his passion. On his part, the experiences in the creative arts industry have taught him a lot he knows now.
The actor who was also into other private businesses played different roles in many movies and television advertisements.
Borga, Frozen Emotion, Savannah, In April, Checkmate, Illusions, A Woman Scorned, Pool Party, and Famous were some of the movies he starred in.
He holds a Masters’s Degree in Fine Arts and a Diploma in Theatre Arts (Drama) from the University of Ghana, Legon.
