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.”

Attoh’s appeal is truly international, and his personal brand is one that is widely recognised and associated with the quality and distinction throughout Africa. He will be hosting along with the charming and smart Sandra Appiah (pictured) of Face2Face Africa.
