Neo Kutoane gets leading role in new sitcom
Well known local actor, apostle and Action SA leader, Neo Webster Kutoane has landed another major role on our small screens.
He is part of the leading cast of the new comedy series on DSTV’s Mzansi Magic channel called Lenyalo Ha se Papadi.
Kutoane plays the character of Ntate Moloi, a supporting lead role alongside polular actors like Meshack Mavuso, Nicholas Nkuna and Mapaseka Koetle.
His role will be the father of the bride, joined by his on-screen wife Mrs Moloi (played by legendary actress Clementine Mosimane).
“Ntate Moloi is a good man but has his crazy moments on the show,” he said.
The 13-episode comedy produced by Black Brain Pictures tells a unique South African tale of a divorcing couple navigating a new life of co-parenting, family drama, dating and everything else under one roof.
“We’re proud of the contribution we have made to the growth of the South African film and television industry and we have enjoyed going back to the genre that started it all for Black Brain Pictures. We can’t wait for viewers to enjoy some much-needed humor that we will be bringing to the screens with our new productions,” says Mandla N, Creative Director of Black Brain Pictures.
Getting a role was not an easy task as Neo was shortlisted with the country’s best actors.
“In November, I attended the auditions with hundreds of people looking to get a role in the new sitcom. I progressed both the first and second round auditions. A few days later, I was called by Black Brain Pictures for a closed audition at their offices,” he explained.
Two days later, Kutoane was called with the good news of his successful audition.
Kutoane is no stranger to our screens, he has been cast on several local shows as a supporting actor.
