Singer Rebecca Malope talks struggling to get an acting job because of her already impressive resume. Rebecca told Drum Magazine that she is finding it difficult for her to tap into the industry, given her status as a seasoned gospel star.
The Clash of the Choirs judge says she often gets approached for TV roles by producers, she admitted that directors struggle with separating her from her ‘gospel heavyweight’ label whenever she auditions for an acting role.
“I love acting, but people don’t hire me because they say I am too expensive. It’s hard for directors to see me as anything other than ‘Rebecca the singer’, so people actually burst out laughing when I am on set,” she told Drum.
