Ruth Bessong

Fast rising, beautiful and talented actress, Ruth Bessong is no doubt a new revelation that is set to make a tremendous change in the popular Nigerian movie industry known as; Nollywood.

Apart from her natural talent that speaks volume of her acting prowess, Ruth, as she’s fondly called, was trained at the Royal Art Academy, which is owned by respected and reputable Emem Isong.

Ruth Bessong is a native of Cross-Rivers State and she has featured in movies such as “90 ninth Day” by Papel Images and “Cross Roads,”  a TV series by Emeka Ossai to mention a few. The sultry actress sees the likes of Genevieve Nnaji, Ini Edo and Mercy Johnson as her role models, while Hollywood star, Alec Baldwin is the international star she loves watching in movies anytime.

Ruth is presently studying International Relations in Houdegbe North American University in Cotonou.

Interestingly, apart from acting, the funny and pretty actress loves being around kids, reading and writing. Sources disclosed that she’s one of the few that should be given opportunity to express their talents in the industry as it’s obvious she’s set to take over from the likes of Genevieve, Ini Edo and Mercy Johnson amongst others.

Crystal | 8/10/2012 10:50:15 PM | Neva seen dis chic b4 bt she's beautyful. nfc nawa 4 una headline o!
Chyke | 8/10/2012 2:13:30 PM | This chic can't act one bit people might argue this with the fact that se just started but she can't act. Genny, Omosexy and co have come to stay so if you are waiting for them to retire, then you are dreaming. The industry is big enough to contain you all so their are rooms for competition. Step up your game n if you see Genny, Omosexy n co as mentors, then its cool. Just watch their movies n see what quality acting is. But if you continue with this fake appearances in movies then you cant be like Genny, Omo T, Ini slutty Edo n others.

Leanie | 8/11/2012 4:49:44 AMAnother new face with no acting skills.. New actress can only inspire to be like our star actresses and could never measure up. You can never be like Mercy Johnson, Ini Edo or Genny Njaii.. Strive to be yourself and you should make a difference in the world of acting.. Until you make your mark, do your work hard cause stardom does not come easy you have to put some work into it..... Reply this thread
