No wonder why I never knew he featured in this movie then.

It might interest you to know that this same waka guy wey u dey laugh has won an Oscar for best supporting actor.which your Eddie Murphy has never won before. Surprising right?

Name a Nigerian Actor that acted 30 years ago, was up to 40 then and still alive? Some of these men are more than 80 years! And even the date rate in the industry is very obvious.

Shari Headley (Lisa McDowell).



Lisa is the oldest daughter of Cleo McDowell.

Akeem instantly feels an attraction to her, but she has a boyfriend, Darryl Jenks, keeping them apart.

Once Lisa and Akeem start dating, he tells her that he comes from a poor family to make sure she loves him for him.



She's 55 years old now.

I saw Shari Headley (Lisa) in a movie recently. That's Tyler Perry's "The Haves and the Have nots" surely not as charming. 30 years is enough to rub the shine off someborry.

You misunderstood my post.

The highlighted part of the OPs post I quoted was to show that he started off as a waka pass (which I mentioned). Today we all know how big he is in Hollywood.

My last paragraph, a popular Bible quote (Zechariah 4:10), talks about being humble enough to start small . . . while nursing/hoping for our big dreams.

I no dey laugh the guy. Na one of my favourite actors. Just surprised that I never realised he was in that movie.

Explorers:
Eddie Murphy (Prince Akeem, Randy Watson, Saul and Clarence).



Played Prince Akeem, the spoiled prince of Zamunda who had never once tied his own shoes.


Along with playing Akeem, Murphy plays three other characters, with the comedian taking on other roles in what would become a hallmark of his films.

Murphy also plays Randy Watson, the singer from R&B group Sexual Chocolate as well as barbershop owner Clarence and customer Saul.



He's now 57.

The only old person in the movie you cited is Pete Edochie. The rest are likely not up to 60.

Eriq La Salle played Lisa’s obnoxious boyfriend, Darryl Jenks.

She breaks up with him after he announces their engagement without even asking her.

His father owns the hair perm company Soul Glo.

I really hated this guy with passion. So funny I thought he was Lionel Richie and because of that, I hated Lionel Richie's songs. grin
