Nii Saka Brown has revealed how he lost a deal owing to a TV commercial he shot, the message of which was grossly misinterpreted.
During an interview with Oman FM, the actor recalled he had had up and downs in his career but obviously one of the most unforgettable moments was when he was denied a job opportunity because of what he portrayed in a Gino Tomato Paste advert.
According to him when he got to the premises of the company who wanted to recruit him, a child of the Managing Director made him out as a character from a TV commercial. He explained that that was what ruined his chances of getting the job.
“There are times whereby the work some people tend to dislike you. I remember I once went to a place to look for a job. And a lady there saw me and said Nii Saka Brown, what are you doing here? And I said I want to see your MD. The lady said let’s go. At the time I had featured in a Gino advert in which I stole chicken in someone’s house.
We got to the office and I am sure the man didn’t make me out. So, the lady said, Director, do you know Him? He is Nii Saka Brown, the one who stole chicken in the Gino advert and that was when the man sacked me,” he posited.
“It was because of the chicken. When the man got angry, I thought he was joking. But he said what are you people teaching our children, to go and steal chicken?
“I said sir, it was an advert I shot for a company I am not the one who wrote the script. But he said no, you should be sensible enough.
I was still smiling and the lady was now feeling uncomfortable. But the man insisted that I should get out of his office. I couldn’t move my leg. I lost that business because of that advert,” he stated.
