Okanlawon, while speaking in an interview with Eelive.ng revealed how he got his first opportunity in Nollywood. He said:
“While I was working full time at OLX, I walked into an audition. I heard about the audition. I went and got a role and some people who could not afford to put an audition together was watching; so that they will pick somebody for their short movie. So, I got two roles from one audition. And that was how it started. I did a short film called Blink, which is on my YouTube channel.
“But all the while, I was still working with OLX. Then, lots of offers of roles started coming in which made me take some time off from work to do the movies because I was really passionate about acting. I didn’t know what the industry was like. So I took a year off work to get familiar with the industry and it was amazing.”
