Aweele debuts on James Town Fisherman

After working behind the scenes as a writer and director of the hilarious TV comedy series, James Town Fisherman, Herbert Attukwei Korley, popularly known as Aweele, is set to make his first appearance on the show tomorrow.

Aweele, who plays the role of Apoolopo, an illiterate fisherman, is expected to play a character different from what his fans have known him for on Chorkor Trotro.
In a chat with the Daily Graphic yesterday, Aweele said his role would define his versatility as an actor. “I didn’t want to appear on the show but work behind the scenes to make it successful. That has been achieved and now my fans can enjoy me as I take up my new role in James Town Fisherman,” he stated.
