Renowned Vioja Mahakamani actor Olexander Josphat, real name Peter Sankale, is well known for his Maasai accent in the film industry.

Peter Sankale’s incredible acting career has spanned several decades, and this has made him a household name in Kenya.

Apart from acting in Vioja Mahakamani, Olexander Josphat has featured in popular TV drama shows such as Vitimbi and Daktari, just to mention a few. However, the actor’s Maasai accent has always raised many questions about his real tribe and origin.

When you listen to Olexander’s accent while acting, you will conclude that he is from the Maa (Maasai tribe) nation. If that has been your thought throughout the years, you’re definitely right because Olexander is a pure Maasai.

His love for the Maasai culture has been a huge influence on his acting career, as he has naturally blended his role in acting with his immediate environment.

Peter Sankale’s acting career started during his childhood while still in primary school.

He would later venture into the film industry when he was still a worker at a Pan African Bank over three decades ago. This led to his landing at KBC Studios, where he participated in an audition for a role in the famous Vitimbi show.

The show boasted several iconic actors, such as Mzee Ojwang’, Mama Kayai, Masanduku, and Mwala, among others.
