Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Motswana actor and film director, Gaosi Raditholo, is hoisting the country\u2019s flag high after securing a prominent role in season three of the globally syndicated HBO Max acquired martial arts crime drama, \u201cWarrior,\u201d that also streams on Showmax.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWarrior\u201d is based on the writings of the iconic cultural figure, Bruce Lee, and is set during the Tong Wars which took place in the 1800s in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

In filming \u201cWarrior,\u201d the local actress worked and rubbed shoulders with great talents, including the show\u2019s creator Jonathan Tropper and executive producer Shannon Lee.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a storyteller\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a massive opportunity because I have always had the dream of being an international actress,\u201d said the Jo\u2019burg-based Raditholo in an interview. \u201cI am a storyteller.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand how difficult it is to survive in Botswana\u2019s industry because it is still growing. I am therefore truly humbled to be a part of such a great project with a compelling story.\u201d<\/p>\n

She plays the role of Abigail, a bartender who is a feisty character that swindles Lee (another character) out of cash but the two end up developing an attraction for each other despite their first unpleasant encounter.<\/p>\n

Both hustlers<\/p>\n

Raditholo started her journey in \u201cWarrior\u201d with a small role that was killed off in the initial script because the show\u2019s producers felt her talent was too good for an ending role and was brought back to play the role of a new character, Abigail in Season Two.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn comparison to my character,\u201d she said, \u201cAbigail has a feisty demeanour and I am very calm and easygoing. We are both hustlers but differ when it comes to our moral compass as I am a very honest person.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Mahalapye native has established herself as a pure storyteller who is able to transform from her shy off-screen persona to embody virtually any role to perfection as soon as the camera is turned her way.<\/p>\n

Unexplored talent<\/p>\n

Her wish for aspiring creatives and thespians? Training should be at the heart of every creative in order for them to tell better and gripping stories.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a lot of unexplored talent in Botswana,\u201d Raditholo said. \u201cGet yourself into training. Get an agent and develop your own mini-productions to see how they will perform.\u201d<\/p>\n

Award winning<\/p>\n

Prior to attaining her Master\u2019s degree (majoring in directing and playwriting), when she was in her third year as a dramatic arts student at Wits University, she was awarded the Percy Tucker award as the prestigious school\u2019s best directing student.<\/p>\n

Cameo role<\/p>\n

She firmly established herself as one of the brightest young actresses with roles on film and TV productions such South Africa\u2019s leading telenovela \u201cKeeping Score,\u201d \u201cThe Queen,\u201d \u201cThe River,\u201d sci-fi series \u201cVagrant Queen,\u201d and a cameo role in National Geographic\u2019s \u201cCrisis in the Hot Zone\u201d series.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy plan is to develop my own productions back at home because I have been exposed to bigger industries,\u201d she told Time Out. \u201cPersonally, I want to do more and explore more industries abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n
