Nigerian actor Joseph Momodu has set tongues wagging with his recent revelation of auditioning for a Tyler Perry production.
The announcement dropped on his Instagram page on March 24, 2025, sending fans into a frenzy of excitement.
In his own words, Momodu wrote, “Last year I had the rare privilege to audition for A TYLER PERRY Production in a search for an African American actor with a Spanish & Italian backgroundโฆ.”
This bold move highlights his versatility as an actor, blending his Nollywood roots with the linguistic demands of Spanish and Italian fluency.
For a lad from Nigeria, where Nollywood reigns supreme, stepping up to audition for a Hollywood heavyweight like Tyler Perry shows Momoduโs determination to take his talent beyond Naija shores.
Tyler Perry is a name that resonates globally, known for crafting stories that uplift African American voices while pulling in massive audiences.
His production teamโs search for an actor with Momoduโs exact profileโan African American fluent in Spanish and Italianโproves the filmmakerโs knack for unique casting.
The audition, which happened in 2024, remains a bit hush-hush in terms of the projectโs specifics, but Momoduโs post today, March 24, 2025, shines a light on this career-defining moment.
