Recently Dayo Okeniyi (Thresh) spoke with Africa Magic Entertainment about his career, his music and Hollywood. Our Thresh seems like a pretty cool guy!

Nigerian actor Dayo Okeniyi tells us about his career, his music and working with the big stars in Hollywood.
Nigerian-born actor Dayo Okeniyi is making a name for himself in Hollywood.
Not only was he one of the tributes in the 2012 blockbuster The Hunger Games, but some of his upcoming projects include a movie with Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake.
Dayo spoke to DStv Online about his career, his interests and some of his favourite memories from his village in Oyo state.
Where does your love for acting come from?
From God I suppose. Passion can not be taught, it can only be nurtured. I have loved acting and films for as long as I can remember.
You played Thresh in The Hunger Games – what was that experience like?
It was an unbelievable experience. Actors go their whole careers without being a part of a phenomenon like The Hunger Games. When you dream of something for so long, like I dreamed about being a screen actor, when that dream comes true, it catches you off guard. I feel so blessed to have been a part of a film like that.
What type of training did you do leading up to filming of The Hunger Games?
I had about two months to get into shape leading up to the movie. Thresh is described as being a physical wonder, so I had to gain a lot of good weight in a short period of time. So I was eating a lot of protein while working out two hours a day, every day for that two month period. An hour of weight training and lifting and an hour of combat and fight choreography training. I gained about 30 pounds of muscle for the role.

What did you learn on the set of The Hunger Games that you will take away and use on other film sets?
Too many things to count. When you work on a movie surrounded by so much amazing talent, just being on set is a learning experience. I would go to the set, even on the days I was not working, just to study the likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Stanley Tucci, Woody Harrelson and Donald Sutherland. It was like acting class everyday. I learned too much from those guys.
