More than two years ago, a man named Nkurikiyinka Charles who became famous as Umukonyine started breaking things through the movie "Umuturanyi" of the series of Mugisha Emmanuel known as Clapton which is not broadcast on the YouTube channel.
Neighbor, is one of the films that
helped people to avoid loneliness, especially when they were going out during
the Covid-19 epidemic that took the lives of thousands of people around the
world.
'Clapton' once told InyaRwanda that
the Covid-19 situation has left him to start thinking about working on a higher
level, and showing new talent in cinema, and he sees himself in line to achieve
it.
The film showcased the talents of
actors such as Nkulikiyinka Charles who became famous as Umukonyi, mainly
through his comparison with the life of the people of Mutara.
His talent is unquestionable, even
small videos have been shared by many on social media showing his performance.
In an interview with InyaRwanda,
'Umukonyine' said that in high school he studied at the same school as Clapton,
which helped him find himself in this film.
“I played with Clapton for about six
years in high school. We knew each other, we were friends. He started the movie
'The Neighbor' a little while after I finished the cinema course, when you
start something, you get what you need, so he ended up realizing that he needed
me."
This man makes it clear that his love
for acting is not a recent thing, because he felt it was pure. He explains that
it is a long journey, and it made him do his best to be able to put a brick on
the cinema journey in Rwanda.
In order to get into film as a
profession, this man went to study Cinema at the school 'Kigali Film and
Television School' and then 'I got the opportunity to go to the movie
'Neighbor'.
He says that it required him to join
the diversity, which made him choose to play as a 'Crowd'. And he says that
even though people see him as someone who grew up in Nyagatare, he arrived in
Kigali City in 2003.
He is not in any other movies except 'The Neighbor', but he says that there will be more releases in the near future.
Cinema contributed to his rise in
'Hospitality'
Nkulikiyinka explains that starting to
work in hotels and restaurants is something he joined 'as a last chance' after
he finished high school. In high school History, Economics and World Science.
In April 2014, he started his
'Hospitality' journey and started working at Century Park & Chinese
Restaurant.
He already had enough knowledge, but
wherever he wanted to work, he was required to have a 'Certificate' confirming
that he had knowledge in the field of hotels and restaurants.
In July 2017, he left Century Park and
moved to The Hut [In those years it was the most important restaurant in Kigali
and was visited by many].
He has been there for five years since
he retired in 2022 and moved to Uncle's Restaurant and moved to Giddy Up Bistro
from this Tuesday, August 29, 2022. This restaurant is located on Kimihurura in
the same building as the dance floor called La Noche.
Nkulikiyinka told InyaRwanda that
Cinema played a role in the development of his regular work, so he did not miss
the opportunity to shoot the movie 'Umuturanyi' whenever he was needed.
He said, “When there is a filming
operation, the producers of the movie 'Neighbor' put it on the line. You see,
it's a big movie, it takes a week to shoot, so I do one day and I give
everything that is asked of me, it will take some time, and then I come back to
my work."
This man makes it clear that whenever
someone gives him a job, he does more than what they have agreed on, and rushes
through his duties in order to show why he asked for it. “I just want the job
done and done,” he said.
He said that he agrees with his heart
that acting in films has improved his work in hotels and restaurants, and has
connected him to a lot of people including his fans.
He said 'Hospitality is a 'Business'
that needs work. "Cinema has increased the number of people I know, and I
let them be another page of my life."
Nkulikiyinka says that there is no
special secret he shared in life that made him strong in cinema and Hospitaliy, other than respecting those he met at work, and learning from each one. He
said, “I am a person who respects people who are better than me, and I try to
copy others. I like to ask, and I like to copy.”
He said that he always likes to listen
to those who are more knowledgeable than him, so that he can do what they are
doing in a short time.
The man says that he is able to
separate the life of the characters in the movie, and the daily life of working
in a restaurant.
He grew up wanting to be a soldier but
he enlisted in the National Police
The man said that he grew up wanting
to be a soldier, but his dream faded away.
He says that he feels that he is a
soldier because of buying from the families where the soldiers came from and he
used to see them often where they lived.
Nkulikiyinka says that when he
finished high school, he began to feel that he should focus on other aspects of
life.
He initially refrained from answering
if he had ever signed up to join the Rwandan Army, but later said that he had
signed up for the Rwandan Police.
Nkulikiyinka said that 'there were
issues that hit him including the required education' which made him unable to
continue. He said, “I had signed up. I passed the registration [...] I had
registered with the Rwanda Police, and I had passed the exams...'
He said that he had finished high school, he was studying at the University and he was going to join the Rwanda Police.
