Nse Ikpe-Etim – Nollywood Actress – Profile post thumbnail image

There is a certain charm, an aura around Nse, what the French call “je ne sais quoi”, and that is her major appeal for me.  This charm does not make her elitist, but rather endears her to her audience, and allows her to play any role and make you believe that is who she is.

Do you want her to be the scheming and cheating wife as seen in Devil in the Detail, or you want her to be the smoking potty mouth, always ready for a fight girl as portrayed in The Visit?

Whatever role Nse takes on, you would believe that is who she truly is. She is an excellent method actress. Her role as a clueless semi literate in Phone Swap was so real, you would think she is truly half educated. Her latest character as the supposed leader of an international crime syndicate in Quam’s Money re-establishes her as the star we have always known her as, despite being away from the screen for a few years.

Simply put, Nse Ikpe-Etim is a queen of the screen.

Nse, a native of Akwa-Ibom State in South Easternm Nigeria, was born on 21 October 1974. Her education spanned different states in the country. She has a degree in Theatre Arts from the University of Calabar, Cross Rivers State. Nse Ikpe-Etim is married.

She came into prominence in 2008 for her role in Reloaded. She was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role at the 5th and 8th Africa Movie Academy Awards for her role in Reloaded and Mr. and Mrs., respectively.
