Yes, it’s real life. At a read-through for the movie titled The Trade, Grey left details shrouded in mystery but it’s all good. Now let’s look back on his acting debut in the legal drama series Castle and Castle, where he played Ben Castle, the only son of Tega Castle and wife Remi Castle. Parents are played by Richard Mofe-Damijo and Dakore Akande respectively. “When Mo called me, I told her that I was already fixed and had to anchor my show on EbonyLife TV, but she said, ‘you know what?

For Osiberu, there’s reason to be excited about his upcoming movie project and we’ll bring you updates as the movie takes shape.
