He was best known for his role as a lead character, Josi, in the popular TV series Machelo.
In an interview last year, he described the character as self-centred and shameless, saying that in real life he was completely the opposite.
On acting in general he said: “I believe I am living my dream, because I always wished to be an actor in popular movies.”
