Although quite a lot of fans admired his acting skill and revered him for the panache he brings to role interpretation, he, nonetheless, remains an enigma. And because fans do not know much about him, this dearth of information breeds wild speculations about his origin and his general background.
The actor, popularly known as Lordmansa, recently provides clarifications about himself in a bid to dispel the misconceptions building around his persona.
“My name is Daniel Olaniyi aka Lordmansa. I am from a family of four, raised by working-class parents. I have a Bachelor’s degree in English and a minor in Spanish from UBC,” he stated.
He provided further background about his education, saying, “I graduated with 3.8 CGPA and because I worked fulltime while studying in the university, I invariably learned about time management and I discovered that I could work very well under some degree of pressure.”
Asked what he considered the greatest quality of an actor, Lordmansa asserted: “Actors are human beings. Like every other professionals, they are expected to possess as many virtues as possible that could help refine their characters. However, I think patience is an attribute that every actor must have in abundance.”
On this he elaborated further: “As an up-and-coming actor, you need time to mature and to come into your own, and that essentially demands that you are patient––patient enough to learn the nitty-gritty of your art and the cogent lessons of your industry; patient enough to wait for your time, because, there is time for everything, a time to start your career, and a time to hit stardom.”
Despite that the year is half-gone, Lordmansa is optimistic that he can still achieve some remarkable goals before the year runs out.
“I am very certain that I will still attain some milestones before the end of 2018,” he affirmed.
