Sunil the Actor

If anyone asks Sunil when he started acting, he would giggle and tell you the story about how his first memory of acting is doing a performance in 1989 when he played an Elf singing ‘Zippity doo daah’.

Sunil did speech and drama throughout his life at school level and even directed some skits at the University of Cape Town. This was all happening while he studied at UCT and despite his studies he often appeared on sets doing commercials and cameos. It was while studying he first appeared on television for two seasons of the live game show the ‘Coca Cola Mega Millions Game’.

He matriculated at an all boys school, but this didn’t stop him at some point from doing three plays and a cabaret while singing in a choir. He sang for 17 years, even while at University and in-between all this incorporated UCT Radio. He can be stated as saying that he used a lot of what he learnt doing speech and drama and acting in general while on radio.

Sunil the Host

Sunil regards his hosting and MC career having started at school level when he was always asked to do the speeches as Junior Town Council Public Relations Officer and Policing Forum Chairperson. But the truth is he still uses the skills he used for those speeches when he does motivational and inspirational speaking today!
