Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Another Zimbabwean actor, Tafara Nyatsanza, has landed a role in the Hollywood film \u2018Beast\u2019.<\/p>\n

Having started off as a theatre producer, Nyatsanza has found his footing in the film sector after starring as Banji in the American survival action film \u2018Beast\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Zimbabwean is part of a stellar cast which includes renowned actor Idris Elba. ZBC News quotes him as saying:<\/p>\n

Banji is a tour guide and game ranger and is in love with Idris Elba\u2019s daughter. I had to be a love interest to the first role; that\u2019s basically the role.<\/p>\n

I learnt how to act for film cause I started in theatre. I learnt how to minimise my acting which was more theatrical. I would say go to school and learn more. This is something that requires more than passion.<\/p>\n

The South Africa-based actor is also known for his role as Tendai on South Africa Netflix production Blood & Water.<\/p>\n

He attributes his success to hard work and professional expertise.<\/p>\n

The Fleur du Cap Theatre Award winner who was recognised for his contribution to South African theatre also starred in another Hollywood horror film \u2018Spell\u2019 released in 2020.<\/p>\n

Other Zimbabweans who have previously featured in Hollywood films include Tongayi Chirisa<\/b>, Danai Gurira<\/b>, Charmaine Bingwa and Thandiwe Newton.<\/p>\n
