Van Vicker stars alongside Hollywood's Carl Payne in new movie


Ghanaian and Nollywood actor Van Vicker is starring alongside Hollywood's Carl Payne of The Cosby Show fame in a new movie titled, When One Door Closes.

The movie has been described by pundits as a 'remarkable dramatic production that has brought different cultures together to tell a captivating African story.'

When One Door Closes was produced by Robert Peters, Van Vicker and Dr. Clarice Ford-Kulah under White Stone Pictures and Sky + Orange Productions in collaboration with Divine Entertainment International.

The movie also stars internationally known cast such as Robert Peters, Clarice Ford-Kulah, Sarah Spicer and award winning actor Chet Anekwe.

It was entirely shot in Atlanta, USA and draws on the acting talent of people from different cultures such as Ghanaians, Nigerians, Liberians, Jamaicans, African-Americans, Caucasians, and a host of others.

Carl Anthony Payne is described as a successful stage and television actor, producer, and director.

He is best known for his recurring role as Theo Huxtable's best friend Cockroach on the ever popular and classic NBC series, The Cosby Show and as Cole Brown on the FOX network TV series Martin.

When One Door Closes tells the remarkable tale of struggle, love and triumph.

Tunde, a prominent Nigerian doctor leaves his practice and emigrates to the United States in search of the American dream, only to realize that the grass is not always greener on the other side.

He meets a friend (Carl Payne) who encourages him to marry Rose (Sara Spicer), a white American lady in an attempt to get a green card so that he can legalize his stay in the US.

The tale turns sour when Rose falls head over heels in love with him and complicates things. Meanwhile, Alechi a beautiful African lady is also struggling in the U.S. Her husband Emeka (Chet Anekwe) suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, which causes him to hallucinate, become aggressive and acts irrationally. They are both fighting a massive battle and life seems very dark.

The movie is set for release in cinemas in Ghana and across select States in the United States.
