Charles Awurum

Awurum grew up in Lagos State and had aspirations to be a professional actor whilst from a young age. He wrote to the producers of Village Headmaster (discontinued Nigerian soap opera) that he aspired to be part of the soap opera cast. Eventually he got an invitation from the producers, but could not feature on the show due to his young age and minimal support from the people and his local community.[1] He stuck to acting drama in church as well as his school he attended.[2]

Awrum started out acting in his church as well as his school so as of the time of graduation from college, he was already a good and versatile actor, he came into Nollywood taking only 'serious' roles, he later at a point in his career decided to do only comedy roles which in initial stage and conception of this idea, he was denied due to his "mean looks".[3]

In 2014, Awurum became a brand ambassador for multinational telecommunications company Globacom owned by Nigerian businessman Mike Adenuga.[4]

The 2016 'Award of Excellence', organized by Magic Lens Africa Film Academy Awards (MAFAA), was hosted by Charles Awurum.[5]
