A new association for Ghanaian actors has been formed to fight the cause of the country’s actors.
This has happened several years after Ghana Actors’ Guild (GAG), the first umbrella body of actors in Ghana, appeared to have failed in its mandate to win the support of every actor.
The new association is called the Screen Actors’ Guild Ghana, and it has some of the country’s big name actors as its members.
Among them are Ken Fiati, Ekow Smith-Asante, Yvonne Nelson, Luckie Lawson, Peter Ritchie, Akosua Kekeli of Efiewura fame, Victoria Lebene Mekpa and a host of others.
NEWS-ONE was reliably informed that members of the new guild have been holding meetings at different levels to make things work for the guild.
Last Sunday, they had a similar meeting at Luckie Lawson’s Mangoes Restaurant at East Legon in Accra, where different issues were discussed to make the guild stand the test of time.
Long before now, GAG has been the parent association for the welfare of actors in Ghana and has branches in the regions of the country.
But with the emergence of Screen Actors’ Guild Ghana, there is a reason to be worried since it may affect GAG’s influence.

Its good this has been formed There are young writers out there who are not get the opportunity And i think you people should do something about it to move the industry forward
Good to be together But don't tell GH. GOVT. to give you money. don't link your group to any political party. don't speak bad about the old group. don't force to be a leader of the group. find your own ways of funding the group. God bless you all... .
...And i believe that you people are going to seek your own funding rather than cheaply running to the govt for 'financial support', as has become the trend among the lazies in the intertainment industry. Show Ghanaians that you are educated people who made sound careers decisions and who are prepared to work their own career with sweat and travail. Show that you are intelligent people deserving of our attention and admiration. Not the cheap-minded, lazy young boys and girls who are either waiting for govt handouts or prostitutiong about and yet calling themselves actors and actresses.
