ABOUT KEN:

Hey! His name is Ken! Ken Smart! Just one of those guys you think less of on the street but see him on stage then you realise you just missed a great star. He is a very intelligent professional with creative mind and good sense of humour. This has earned him a place in his company to be MC for special occasions & a public speaker at various events including Men’s Breakfast Meetings. He has been featured in the last 4 editions of the company’s magazine following the success of ‘Anna & Rose’, Taxi for comedian and ‘Variety is the Spice of death’ and ‘Mixed Blessings’. He is very ambitious and quite determined to reach a greater height in his acting career. He was involved in organizing national campus queen beauty contest in his university days at Ife. He loves comedy but am quite flexible with roles .From pastor to gangster, from lover boy to grandfather. Acting is challenging but rewarding for him. His greatest challenge was to dive underneath the Red in the ‘’Ruins of Pharaoh’. He is a committed individual with pride in being dynamic, spontaneous, communicative and extremely charming. Despite this Christ is His first love & other things follow. ‘Heavenwood’ is the limit.
