People have different narratives about individuals and this could be based on perceptions, hearsay, and personal encounter. The narratives could either be positive or negative depending on what was witnessed or what ensued when paths crossed.
For some industry stalwarts who have had an experience with Adjetey Anang, inking the anecdotes about the actor’s personality in his memoir, was an avenue to tell the public who Adjetey Anang really is.
Adjetey Anang, 50, launched his memoir on his golden jubilee anniversary. The memoir titled ‘Adjetey Anang: A story of Faith, Imperfection and Resilience’ tells Adjetey Anang’s journey to stardom, his impact, lessons, struggles, and the sacrifices which have shaped him over the years.
It also reveals the relatable individual behind the varied captivating screen characters he has played over the years, including the legendary Pusher from the iconic TV series Things We Do for Love, and the two brains behind the series (Wakefield Ackuaku and Ivan Quashigah) and actor Majid Michel had a story to tell when Adjetey gave them an opportunity to say their piece in Chapter 7 of his book.
The likes of Dr. Joyce Aryee, Hon. Dzifa Gomashie, Kwame Sefa Kayi, Leila Djansi, Yvonne Nelson, Jackie Appiah, and Shirley Frimpong-Manso had their time on the Testimonials pages.
Below are portions of the submissions GhanaWeb has compiled.
1. Ivan Quashigah
I saw him for the first time, a lanky, frail-looking young man. He had this air of confidence around him though. He was soft-spoken and would hardly say anything unless spoken to. His character was very solemn and he seemed pretty reserved for an actor. Honestly, I had my doubts about his abilities at first glance. I wondered why he came highly recommended.
On set, Adjetey maintained a level of professionalism that was admirable. He was never late for a shoot. He never gave excuses and would always be ready for his scenes. He made my work easy as he always came well-prepared. He was dedicated and professional in his approach to the project. I know his level of discipline rubbed off on a number of people who were on set with him.
There were a number of young actors who often showed signs of pride at the sight of stardom. Adjetey remained humble. He carried the show on his shoulders right from the start. The story was never about Pusher, but Adjetey's hard work, sheer talent, and excellent acting made Pusher the star of the series, Things We Do for Love.
