I'm tired of playing the role of a herbalist - Nollywood actor Ojopagogo

Veteran actor, Rasaq Olayiwola, popularly known as Ojopagogo, who often features as an old man or an herbalist in movies, has come out to speak about being stereotyped in the movie industry. 
He said that he is fed up with producers always casting him as an herbalist in movies, stating that as an actor, he is meant to explore all characters available to him. 

He said “When I started acting, I did not start with the role of an herbalist. Alade Aromire was the first person that cast me as an herbalist in a movie and since then, people have started using me for the role of an herbalist. I have complained about it; in fact, last year, I had to hold a meeting with some stakeholders in our industry to let them know that they should use me for other movie roles instead of only using me for the role of an herbalist. They told me that it is due to the demand of the public but I would prefer to play other roles. Nowadays, if you insist that I should act the role of an herbalist in your movie, I do it but not with the same zeal I would use to portray other characters. One of my dream roles is to play the role of someone who terrorises others in a crime movie. I want to be featured in a crime movie and I want people to know that I am a versatile actor.”
