Thabang Molaba / 23 / Actor, Model, venturing into Styling
Explain how the journey to where you are now has been…
It’s been a very difficult journey of rejection, failure and sometimes success. I’m actually glad I never gave up. Besides that, all the struggles and failure I endured, were preparing me for a great reward which is currently unfolding.
You’re a model and actor, has this always been on the cards for you?
Yes, especially with acting, that’s where my heart is.
What would you be doing if you were not in the industry?
I’d probably be with a team of architects putting together a sketch of a building about to be built.
How’s your daily routine like?
Very busy. Filled with spiritual, physical and mental activities. And a day doesn’t end without me getting busy with anything that has to do with acting and drama.
You’ve recently done work with Ferguson Films via The Queen, any valuable lessons learnt there?
I learnt that you need to be firmly present and be there for yourself.
Had you ever done acting before?
I had drama plays in my hometown’s youth club. However, The Queen was my first Television acting gig.
How do you keep focused in your line of work?
I try my best to shut out the distractions. I keep myself present in the now. Give everything in the process instead of the results.
What’s that pinnacle you’d love to reach one day?
I want to be an award-winning actor, it could be any type of award. I want to be in Hollywood productions and projects. I want to play the Marvel superhero ‘Black Panther’ someday. More than anything, I’d like to maintain a constant stupendous improvement in my craft of acting.
Motivation and inspiration, were do you draw them from?
I probably have the most motivated and determined friends in the world. We inspire each other to constantly do great and better. And of course my acting coach Patricia Boyer, she is truly amazing. Other than that, I get it from watching good classic movies and theater plays, interviews and series.
How was 2017 for you and any big things you’re looking forward to this year?
2017 was honestly an amazing year for me. Everything only began to fall into place. It was the beginning for me. A great start. In 2018 I’m looking forward to my comeback on The Queen and a small role I did for Ring Of Lies. That’s all I know of so far, however I know for a fact that 2018 is going to be a year that’s impeccably great. I am excited.
