If you have seen Anikulapo: Rise of the Spectre, you would agree that the series displays the Yoruba cultural heritage in all its richness, and talents among which we saw a familiar face. A face so much like the man revered as the father of theatre who founded the first contemporary professional theatrical company in Nigeria; Hubert Ogunde.

Owobo Ogunde who played the role of Bashorun in the Anikulapo; Rise of the Spectre Series, Season 1 showing on Netflix. Bashorun is that villain who would go to any extent to make sure power is in his hands. He not only captures the audience with the striking resemblance he shares with his late father, but his carriage, delivery, and looks steal their hearts as well.

To cut a long story short here are ten things you don't know about Owobo Ogunde;
1. Owobo Ogunde is the last son of the Late Hubert Ogunde.
2. He was born in 1978 and is presently 46 years old as of 2024.
3. He hails from Ijebu Ososa, Ogun State, Nigeria. He also speaks a little bit of Ijebu.
4. He graduated from Igbobi College, Yaba, Lagos.
5. His acting career didn't start with Anikulapo. He made his debut under his father in a stage play titled Aropin N Tenia where he played the role of Oriadekigbe.
6. In Anikulapo, he interpreted and delivered his role so well despite being his 1st time on a TV set and his first appearance in the Nollywood scene.
7. Interestingly, he is a corporate guy who resides in the UK.
8. A lovely story but heartbreaking for the ladies falling for his sugar daddy aura is that he is married to Adetutu Ogunde who is a lawyer and human rights activist. They are blessed with two children.
9. He has a net worth of $500,000
10. He has been living in the UK for the past 32 years.
Presently, he is the most talked about actor/character in the Anikulapo series. You should also look forward to seeing him in other movies as I believe he is a talent that has come to stay
