When I was younger, there was no way you could convince me that Hanks Anuku wasn’t a real life armed robber/thug.
Dude only landed such roles and pulls it off every time!

Hanks Anuku with that his broad voice.. Whenever he's robbing someone on a movie scene, we try to reduce the volume on the loudspeaker, before our neighbours will take to their heels..
