Sello Maake KaNcube champions theatre for honing acting skills

Veteran actor Sello Maake KaNcube spilled the beans about his acting career during a radio chat on Kaya 959. The South African star revealed his true feelings about the difference between movie work and stage performances. He compared screen acting to fast microwave meals because everything happens quickly. Theatre work reminds him of slow cooking where actors can really develop their skills over time. The seasoned performer believes stage acting gives actors the best foundation for their craft.

Maake KaNcube thinks real acting talent comes from working on stage first. He pointed out that actors who start with theatre have better skills than those who jump straight into movies. The actor referenced famous star Denzel Washington when talking about this topic. Stage work helps performers create their personal acting methods and techniques. Movie actors without theatre background often lack the deeper skills that come from live performance.

The actor was promoting his latest play Master Harold and the Boys when he tackled the hot topic of TV royalties. Many veteran performers have been struggling financially because they do not receive ongoing payments for their work. Actress Nandi Nyembe recently shared her money troubles which sparked fresh debate about actor compensation. Maake KaNcube usually stays quiet about controversial subjects but decided to speak up this time. He firmly believes television actors deserve royalty payments and should keep fighting for fair treatment.
