I’ve only ever worked with him once and that was on Side Chic Gang, before then I’d never met him. But he he commanded so much respect and brought A LOT of comic relief which came so naturally that he became hard to forget. In fact every time I’d see him I remember the first thing I ever heard him say “this coat too is not nice, what joooon coat is this”( it sounded better coming from him) Whenever one of us goes, it doesn’t matter if you knew or worked with them; there’s just a feeling like you’ve lost family regardless. RIP Benard Nyarko- you will live on through your work.
