The debate as to whether the Ghanaian movie industry is dead or still alive is one that cannot be concluded anytime soon.

Noticeably, Ghana’s movie industry has been fast declining over the years due to many reasons including the lack of investment, interest from the audience, just to mention but a few.

Ghanaian actors have since as a result, diversified their skills in other fields in order to stay relevant and to feed their families.

With some turning into ‘globetrotters’ transacting strange businesses, others own private businesses, and some are now TV hosts, cooks and so on.

www.ghanaweb.com has identified a section of Ghanaian actors who have ventured into other businesses aside acting including those rambling on social media without any identifiable jobs.

Majid Micheal



Ghanaians were stunned to see pictures of the actor on social media, ministering under the unction of the Holy Spirit.

Majid Michel has since been spotted at several churches ministering to the congregation though some believe that if the Ghanaian movie industry was still vibrant, Majid would have never been an evangelist.

Emelia Brobbey



The actress currently has found interest in hosting her own TV Show dubbed “Okukuseku TV Show” which airs on Adom TV.

Nana Ama McBrown



Popular and celebrated Ghanaian actress, Nana Ama Mcbrown has been absent in the movie industry for a while. Nana Ama seems to have found solace in her new Cooking Show, Mcbrown’s Kitchen which has been successful.
