Chris Attoh is one of the most-talented and recognizable faces on African television. He won hearts with a memorable performance in the award-winning film “The Perfect Picture” and has also starred in highly acclaimed movies like “Flower Girl,” “Single and Married,” “Sinking Sands,” and more. And who can forget his lead role as “Kwame Mensah” in the hit M-Net soap “Tinsel.”
