Information that reached NEWS-ONE late Thursday evening suggested that actor and producer Van Vicker has established an acting school that is secretly producing some of the hottest cast entering the industry. “Van has been operating this school for some time but it is not clear why he seems to be doing it under cover. When you ask him, he tells you it is just a foundation to help people but he actually takes his students through acting and film making techniques after which he outsources them to various movie producers,” a source close to the actor told NEWS-ONE. The report seems to confirm speculations that Van was recently recruiting acting instructors and that he was about to start an acting school in Nigeria. But our source insisted the school has since been started in Ghana and that it is located near the La General Hospital in Accra. (via Van Vicker Starts School - News in Sierra Leone)
