The Nollywood actor publicly acknowledged his younger brother’s vital role in reigniting his passion for acting, revealing that it was Yul who urged him to rejoin the industry as early as 2015.
Despite the encouragement, Linc admitted that he delayed his return due to procrastination.
It wasn’t until 2020 that he fully embraced his brother’s advice and staged a proper comeback to the screen.
The result has been a rejuvenated presence in Nollywood and improved performances, which he credits in part to Yul’s mentorship.
“Blood is thicker than water,” Linc wrote in a heartfelt post shared on Instagram.
Love or hate him, this man remains one of the greatest actors and filmmakers in this country.
“A lot of people don’t know this; it was my brother Yul who asked me to come back to the film industry in 2015 after a prolonged absence. Procrastination got in the way, but I finally took his advice and returned in 2020.”
He praised Yul, not only as a brother but also as a trained theatre professional who equipped him with essential skills that elevated his craft.
Linc acknowledged that although he had always possessed passion for acting, Yul’s professional training filled the gaps and refined his performances.
“Some of the things I do in movies, he taught me because he is a theatre professional, while I have a passion for it,” he said.
“Love or hate him, this man remains one of the greatest actors and filmmakers in this country. Ezedike @yuledochie, mmuo ka I bu. God bless you always.”
