Elikem Da Tailor shows his versatility

Elikem Da Tailor, as he is popularly known, has been  comfortably combining  his profession as a fashion designer with acting  and appears to be straddling both worlds quite comfortably.

“I have been shooting a series called ‘Table of Men’ produced by Ecow Smith-Asante and directed by Abeiku Acquah. I play the role of an ex-criminal turned pastor.

“I am also in another series titled’ Haunted’ by Luckie Lawson in which I play the role of a gentleman who meets a lady  being maltreated by her husband. I get close to her and become her ally. It’s a very interesting series ,” Elikem said.

It’s not just been about  television series for Elikem. He  also plays an abusive husband in a short film by Ben Drako titled ‘Pauline’s Diary.’

“These roles and the ones I have played in the past go to tell how versatile I am as an actor.  In ‘Table of Men,’ for instance,  the transition is a mix of spirituality and crime and I handle both very well so my versatility is not in doubt.”

Elikem has also starred in movies like ‘Silver Rain’, ‘Happy Deathday’ and ‘Anniversary.’ 

He  is married to  Pokello  from Zimbabwe. They have a year-old son.
