Majid Michel is a pure talent. He started performing in the world of make-believe (acting) way back since he was a kid. He was always outstanding in school dramas during his primary and secondary school days. His good looks and outstanding talent made him a cynosure of all eyes; hence, he was always assigned the lead role in school plays.
Majid started his career in the Ghanaian movie industry in 2000. However, it took him 9 years before he got his first Nollywood feature. He starred alongside Genevieve Nnaji in a movie titled Emerald. He made his second major appearance in Silent Scandal. The romance-themed Silent Scandals set Majid up for a glittering career in Nollywood. However, his rise to prominence in the Nigerian movie scene was cut short in 2010, when Majid decided to leave Nollywood, so as to focus on his acting career.
Although the Ghanaian actor was economical with the truth about what actually truncated his career in Nollywood, he attributed it to the enormous envy from Nigerian actors.
