Career
Nollywood actor Stan Nze’s first significant acting part was in the 2013 film Murder At Prime Suites when he played a serial murderer with bipolar affective illness. He made his acting debut in the 2009 TV series Private Sector.
Starting in the Nigerian film industry, Stan was only given sporadic appearances. However, his enthusiasm for the industry compelled him to seek more critical positions. He was fortunate to land a prominent role in 2012 with The Benjamins, another TV series, and Hoodrush, a musical thriller movie starring Bimbo Akintola, OC Ukeje, and Gabriel Afolayan.
Stan Nze received yet another leading role in the 2013 film Murder At Prime Suites, in which he portrayed “Adolf,” a serial killer who suffers from bipolar affective illness. Nze co-stars in Chris Eneng’s 2013 Nigerian criminal thriller alongside actors Joseph Benjamin, Keira Hewatch, and Chelsea Eze.
Following his appearance in the Nollywood film Just Not Married, screened at the Toronto International Film Festival, Stan hoped to break into the movie business finally. But while his co-stars garnered nominations for prizes, he did not, which nearly dashed his dream of working at the top of the profession.
Stan Nze’s career took off when he secured the lead part in the Rattlesnake remake, which led to him winning the ‘Best Actor in Drama prize at the 2022 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA).
Stan Nze’s part as Ahanna in the 2020 film directed by Ramsey Nouah not only gave the actor his much-awaited ascent to stardom, but it also provided a platform for him to meet and collaborate with some of the classics of Nollywood, like Chiwetalu Agu, Osas Ighodaro, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, and Ayo Makun.
Speaking about his part, Nze also shared that he had to observe and become familiar with the project to differentiate the character in the new film from Francis Duru’s portrayal of Ahanna.
Since first coming to public attention, the Nollywood actor has starred in dozens of additional mind-blowing films, some of which have topped numerous Nollywood best movie debates.Â
