While public information about his life and career is limited, Big Larry’s impact on Nollywood will be remembered.
Since January 2024, Nollywood has lost dozens of practitioners including Mr Ibu, Amaechi Muonagor, Junior Pope, Sisi Quadri, and Ganiyu ‘Ogunjimi‘ Oyeyemi.
Others who lost their lives include Olofa Ina, Adejumoke Aderounmu, Saratu Gidado, Reginald Ebere, Ethel Ekpe and Onyeka Onwenu.
In May, the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) announced a four-day fasting and prayer session with Jerry Eze, the Streams of Joy International founder, against deaths in Nollywood.
Rollas said “actors cannot continue to die like chickens,” adding that prayers were needed to avert more deaths in the industry.
He urged Nollywood actors and their supporters to join the programme to “deal with this ugly reproach”.
The prayer session held at the M & M Center in Garki, Abuja from May 2 to 5.
