And Im a science geek to this day.
When I heard those words it was like a lightning bolt, he recalls.
A part of me always wanted to be an actor.
Nearly two decades later, Ceesay is now leading the cast ofSkys new comedy-dramaWolfe.
He’s got a really big heart, says Ceesay of the titular character.
He understands that forensics is more than just about solving crimes.
With every case he solves, he manages to restore the balance between relationships.
A particular highlight, he says, was the explosion of a prosthetic body.
I felt sorry for her, but we rolled on the floor laughing.
Playing Sir Richard Taylor inDamilola, Our Loved Boywill also always be special to me.
As for the future, Ceesay dreams of being at the forefront of African cinema.
Despite some limitations, Nigerians will always push forward with cinema.
Maybe one day, we’ll see.
