Kenyan actor, Peter Ogolla attended the International Emmy Awards after he was selected as one of the jurors for the 50th International Emmys.

Peter shared pictures from the event and captioned it, “This International Emmy Awards gala red-carpet look is by Tony Ngige @tonyngige. Tony, they wanted to know where you are based in New York City, that’s how deadly you are!”

The actor, who stars in the Kenyan crime drama Crime & Justice, announced the news of his selection via his Instagram saying, “I am just letting you know that I am a Juror in the 50th International Emmy Awards. Roger! #goddid,” and in October, the Award-winning actor reached out to anyone who is willing to financially help him saying he can’t miss such an opportunity just because he is broke. Taking it to his Instagram he noted that an artist desiring major success requires money, “To whom much is given much is required, this statement has been so clear to me this year, I have a huge lesson to every artist who wishes and dreams of making it big, my sister and brother, you will need money!!! Whatever projects you are doing right now, you must factor in you future value!”

Calling on anyone willing to help him by funding his trip saying he will give back by making it happen in Kenya, “I appeal to all the well-wishers in the industry or out of the industry with love for the development of our industry, to help me find this trip to represent at the International Emmy awards in New York. It is not a small feat to be selected, this right here is an opportunity that will be of great returns in the future of our film industry because my next dream is to make sure that the international Emmy Jury duty happens in Kenya! Get Al these TV executives and great talents to our land and see what we have to offer, that is my dream for this nation.”
