Fresh from appearing on the popular Netflix Series, One Piece, renowned actor, model and photographer Stevel Marc is about light up South African TV screens as he takes up the role of Sanka Myrie in the popular e.tv soapie Scandal! which will debut tonight, November 7th.
Says Stevel, ” I am thrilled to be joining South Africa’s number one soap, Scandal!. I’ve followed it over the years, so being part of it now is euphoric. The experience has been fantastic for me thus far – a welcoming cast and crew who put the show first.”
He concludes, ” My character, Sanka, is a joy to play. I use my authentic Patois (Jamaican dialect) and accent to bring him to life, and I can’t wait for South Africa to meet him.”
Sanka Myrie is described as a character who exudes confidence, charisma and style. Women find him irresistibly attractive, and his physical attractiveness is undeniable. He’s impeccably dressed and sophisticated yet can be both confident and a bit arrogant – a classic ladies man, not the one to commit for long, earning him the reputation of being a “flavour of the month”.
What makes his portrayal even more exciting is ghat he’ll be using his native Jamaican accent, a unique touch that has never been done before, to bring authenticity to the character. Sanka’s entry to Scandal! will shake up the storyline, causing turmoil in the marriage of Mdala and Tlhogi. Sparks fly between Tlhogi and Sanka. The burning question is how far will Sanka’s character go in causing trouble between Mdala and Tlhogi’s marriage and where Mdala will find out. If he does, how will he protect his marriage?
Scandal! airs weeknights at 7 PM on e.tv
