Comedy has always been something I love, but for some reason - probably because of the British accent - I've always been pushed toward more period work.

My name is very specific to my family. I'm very proud of being Nigerian. I understand that most people can't pronounce it, but that's OK.

I get to be goofy and quirky and sweet at the same time.

I've several times had jobs that I thought were going to be my big break, and it didn't pan out.

My accent has changed my whole life. When I was younger it was very Nigerian, then when we went to England it was very British.

When I'm just walking around, I swap between the British and the American, and when I'm with my family I'm with my Nigerian accent.

I was born and raised in Nigeria. We lived in England when I was 3 and 4, and I would go to summer school every year in Switzerland.
