What you desire, as an actor, is to have an impact. That's why you did it. You want to move people, and you want to resonate with your audience. It's always a great compliment to have people appreciate and speak of the characters. I can go anywhere in the world, to places where people don't actually speak English, and people can say, verbatim, what I said on the show as Mr. Eko, which is great. That's fun!

I was always led to believe you should take care of yourself, trust in your abilities and you're the author of your own destiny.

What is a shame is that there isn't stuff that is as great as 'Oz' on a consistent level around today.

Wale means to arrive home. So the crown has arrived home. Akin is warrior or brave man. Nuoye is a brave man of chieftaincy and Agbaje means wealth and prosperity.

As an actor, you really want to resonate with your audience. I played a character on Oz and people still approach me in the streets today.

You really have to act your pants off to stay alive. I thrive on that; I rise to the occasion of the circumstances.

Certainly, I look for different characters 'cause I always like to keep people guessing, and I also don't like to get typecast.
