Macks Papo: I speak my mind and sometimes it gets me in trouble
Fetched from: https://www.timeslive.co.za/
Macks featured on Egoli, Rhythm City and Isibaya before taking up his latest role as Marothi on Skeem Saam.
He said that he learned long ago to speak his mind and not take the blame for things that he had no part in, like declining ratings or troubles on set.
“When things go wrong on production, do you know the first person they blame? Actors! I am the type of person that says ‘No. Let’s sit down and look at the root of the problem’. Everywhere I go I speak truth to power and authority.”
He labeled himself a nonconformist and admits that it has sometimes got him into trouble on set.
“I question everything. From scripts to how scenes are directed. It is how I learn. I am free-spirited. I am also spiritual and if something does not resonate with my soul or I feel like it is time to move on, I will.”
The actor has been in the industry for over two decades and said it saddened him that social media followers and likes were the new currency in the industry.
“If I went along with those things, the popularity contests, I would have been very discouraged. I am very sensitive but also positive. I realise that I work hard and I have made a name for myself so the popularity contests don’t phase me. I have never been a slave to social media, what it says or what it demands from me,” he added.
