Funmi Bank Anthony

Biography

Funmi Bank Anthony is a versatile creative who has managed to carve out a distinct identity away from her famous family name. She began her career on stage during secondary school before transitioning to the screen after an accidental audition at Zeb Ejiro's office. Her screen debut was in the movie The Switch, where she starred alongside Jim Iyke. She is primarily a powerhouse in the Yoruba Nollywood scene, where she is respected for her "streetwise" yet "refined" acting style. Beyond acting, she is a vocal advocate for better governance and has ventured into politics to make a "tangible impact" on Nigerian society. Her philanthropy, often targeted at hard-to-reach communities, is a direct homage to her grandfather’s legacy.
