Kwabena Bediako, who is one of the few young rising figures in the Ghanaian movie industry, has returned to the industry after a long break.
Kwabena featured prominently in ‘Taxi Driver’, a television series on GTV some years back. In an interview with BEATWAVES, he disclosed that he went on a break to further his education and also upgrade his acting skill.
Known in the showbiz scene as IBK, Kwabena Bediako has featured in a number of television series such as ‘Small World’, ‘Sun City’ and movies such as ‘Koofori in London’, ‘Cross My Heart,’ and a host of others.
What has kept him shinning on the acting runway has been his untiring determination to reach the top.
The enterprising movie icon, who is the lead actor in a new television series, ‘Berima Nkwan’ aired on Viasat 1 every Saturday evening, told BEATWAVES, “I am back from my leave. I have learnt a lot as far as my personal development is concerned”.
According to him, although he is a spirited actor, “I am also a born master of ceremony (MC) and have hosted a lot of programmes in the country”.
Following his return to the movie industry, BEATWAVES gathered that a number of movie production firms in Kumasi who see a lot of potential in him are also working tirelessly behind closed doors to grab him.
Kwabena Bediako disclosed that, “Though the money involved in the deals are significant, I have to take my time to make the right decision before appending my signature to any contract. But for now I’m focusing on ‘Barima Nkwan’, a television series on Viasat 1”.
IBK who would rather not refer to himself as an actor, but an entertainer, is a humble, easygoing, talented and creative person.
A product of the University of Ghana—where he read Theatre Arts and Drama—and a degree holder from Cambridge International College in UK, IBK is also one of the sales managers at Vodafone and is stationed at Takoradi. He disclosed that he had no choice than to take up acting when the opportunity came knocking at his door, to become one of the main cast in ‘Taxi Driver
