Beverly<br />
INTERVIEW<br />
Naya<br />
Excelling in the<br />
Right Business<br />
Beverly Naya was born<br />
and raised in London,<br />
England, where she<br />
studied film making and<br />
script writing at Roehampton<br />
University, England. Her<br />
return to the country some<br />
years back has been quite<br />
rewarding for the young<br />
actress. She has participated<br />
in several movies, depicting<br />
different characters at<br />
different times, some<br />
emotionally and mentally<br />
challenging to the strong or<br />
seductive.<br />
Beverley talks about her<br />
character Tina, and a sweet<br />
young girl caught in the web<br />
of love.<br />
would pop the question while there, but things did not go according to<br />
plan though.<br />
What attracted you to the script and what lessons do you want<br />
people to take away from it?<br />
It is an exciting and relatable story; I love the twists and the<br />
suspense. The cast is solid too. In regards to lessons; all that glitters is<br />
not gold. That is all I’ll say, for now; I<br />
don’t want to give the whole story away accidentally.<br />
What kind of roles have you performed throughout your career?<br />
Are you satisfied with them?<br />
I have been fortunate enough to play a variety of roles from<br />
emotionally and mentally challenging to intense or seductive. I have<br />
played a lot of compelling characters, and I am curious to see what the<br />
future holds.<br />
How long have you been an actor? From where did you get started?<br />
I started acting when I was about 17, I studied acting like an A-Level<br />
student, while in college in London. I took a break for my University, but I have<br />
not looked back since I graduated.<br />
How many plays have you done so far?<br />
Two in England and two in Nigeria<br />
Describe your character in the movie ColdFeet?<br />
Teni is a sweet girl, she loves life, and she loves her boyfriend as well. In the<br />
story, he surprises her with a romantic getaway, and she was hoping that he<br />
Do you ever think that you could have done better in any other<br />
profession if you were not an actor?<br />
I think I am in the right business, but if I weren’t an actress then I<br />
probably would have been a psychologist or a music video director, I<br />
used to be passionate about that when I was younger.<br />
One fact we should know about you?<br />
I am from Ibusa, Delta state. I am an only child so that I can be a bit<br />
of an introvert at times but, I am an extrovert once I am comfortable.<br />
