Dennis Mugo Resurfaces After Years Out of the Spotlight ¶
Former Tahidi High actor Dennis Mugo has resurfaced after being out of the public eye for a while. He appeared on an episode of Abel Mutua's YouTube show on August 5, 2020, which was shared on August 6, 2020.
Since exiting the popular Citizen TV show, Mugo pursued other interests but before returning to the acting industry. He now runs a talent academy in Embu County, where he has partnered with the county government to nurture hundreds of talented budding actors.
He also roped in former Tahidi High actress Immaculate Murugi, popularly known as Ashley. The two went on to become the most popular actors on the show alongside Joseph Kinuthia, who was known as Omosh.
Abel Mutua, who was a student of the Kenya Institute of Mass Communication (KIMC) alongside Mugo, thanked him for charting the way for him. Abel's career trajectory followed OJ's, and he went on to win the best actor award at the National Drama Festivals.
Abel then followed his friend to Tahidi High after he was scouted by the show's assistant producer during the drama festivals. The two went on to become the most popular actors on the show alongside Joseph Kinuthia.
After working for different companies, Abel decided to partner with his fellow Tahidi High co-star Philip Karanja to establish their own production company which shoots shows and commercials as well.
