Actor rankings still define careers – Beverly Afaglo

GHANAIAN actress Beverly Afaglo believes classifying actors into groups such as A-list or C-list does not harm the film industry in any way.

GHANAIAN actress Beverly Afaglo believes classifying actors into groups such as A-list or C-list does not harm the film industry in any way.

“Every actor has the chance to grow with time. A C-list actor today can move to A-list status if given the opportunity to shine in a successful production”, she said.

For Beverly, the classification system is still very relevant. “Yes, it makes sense because there are celebrities and there are popular people. Popularity alone doesn’t make you celebrated.”

“Classifications often depend on how talented, marketable, loved and professional an actor is. That’s why there will always be A-list actors,” she stressed.

Turning to the state of Ghana’s film industry, Beverly expressed frustration with the persistent challenges slowing its growth. Lack of funding, poor cinema culture, and limited audience support remain the biggest obstacles.

“I think we are still facing the same problems. Cinema culture is poor and getting worse. Ghanaians don’t fully support our craft.”

“Even when cinemas are filled at a premiere, it’s often because huge sums have been spent on marketing. And at the end, you split profits 50/50 with Silverbird because there aren’t many good cinema options. It’s sad,” she lamented.
