THE United States-based teen model, Caroline Ikpea, has grabbed a lead role in a new TV series, Ivanca.
An excited Ikpea said playing the lead role in the much-advertised sitcom would be a wonderful experience for her.
“In my opinion, it will be more fun than work for me. Ivanca, being my first movie in which I play a major role, will open more doors of opportunities for me in Nollywood,” she said.
She further revealed that she clinched the lead role based on the stringent requirements of the production team, adding that the producer searched for a female teenage cast with the right acting skill, exposure and knowledge of science to easily adapt to the role.
“As a model, actress and core science student, it wasn’t difficult for the casting crew to narrow their search to me. I have been taking theatre courses for some time now. Presently, I am mastering a script for a school play titled Cross Fire in which I will be playing the role of a man. It’s quite challenging, but fun. I am also among the cast of a play titled Legally Blonde. I was chosen to do few dance steps for a particular scene in the play. Again, I assist with stage management for school plays. Occasionally, I help actors master their lines and gestures. So, as you can see, art is in me,” she explained.
Born to Nigerian parents, the 17-year-old model, who hails from Edo State, had spent most of her early life in Nigeria before travelling to the U.S. to further her education.
