admin September 18, 2024

Lebo Msiza cries out loud that he is a good person, he is just acting.

Lebo Msiza, an actor you might recognize from shows like “The Queen” and “Generation: The Legacy,” is setting the record straight. Despite often playing bad guys on screen, he assures fans he’s a good guy in real life.

Msiza has been surprised by encounters with viewers who take his characters’ actions personally, even confronting him in public. He understands their passion for the shows, but emphasizes the difference between acting and reality.

Lebohang’s journey began in church

Lebo Msiza’s acting journey began with the skills he honed in church plays. Despite lacking formal training, his determination was unwavering.

He wasn’t afraid to put in the hard work, even working for free sometimes just to gain experience and be in front of the camera.

To finance his acting pursuits, Msiza even held a job at a salon. These early struggles, he believes, helped him develop the resilience needed to succeed in the competitive acting industry.

Interestingly, Msiza’s quiet demeanor might not suggest his on-screen persona. He transforms when the cameras roll.

Lebo’s turning point

His path to professional acting took a significant turn when he landed a spot at the Duma Ndlovu Actor’s Academy, founded by the renowned producer Duma KaNdlovu.

The academy typically accepted actors with formal training, but Msiza’s raw talent earned him a rare exception.

Determined to prove his worth, Msiza pushed himself twice as hard as his peers. His dedication paid off, and he successfully completed the program.

Currently, Msiza is busy filming a new drama series set to air on Mzansi Magic early next year. We can expect to see him light up the screen once again, hopefully in a role that allows viewers to see the good guy he truly is.
