When the name Thulani Mtsweni appears on a production, viewers already anticipate that they will be roaring with laughter whenever his scenes come up, which is exactly what the actor wants to be remembered for bringing happiness and joy to the small screen.
Sowetan caught up with him last week at the premiere of BET's new telenovela, Black Gold, which aired on Monday night. He plays the character of Majika on the show. Mtsweni, who can easily be identified with his signature hairstyle that features an afro that is bald in the middle and a full beard, told Sowetan that he does not worry about being typecast for roles because he believes that bringing comedic relief is what he was meant to do.
Sowetan: The viewers have seen you playing mostly comical characters. Aren't you bothered about being typecast?
