His transition started with a stint in LIVE Theatre after graduating from KIM DAWSON ACTING COLLEGE - Dallas, TX in May 2002. He did not waste any time relocating to Hollywood the same month that he graduated from Acting School. It was not an easy road but with the divine help of a fellow Nigerian that had already made his mark in Hollywood, Pascal was able to quickly establish his grounds by studying his environment and mastering the GAME in Hollywood.
Under the tutelage of his mentor, MICHAEL AJAKWE JNR (Hollywood based Writer, Movie Director/Producer), Pascal blossomed into a creative and talented Professional that is able to own his own in the entertainment industry. Pascal is respected also amongst the Nigerian NOLLYWOOD industry as a visionary who is working unrelentless to bridge the gap and dichotomy between Nollywood & Hollywood.
Pascal Atuma is a very spiritual man whose strong Christian belief and background play a major part in his life and career.
Ladies, Pascal Atuma is very much single and available but believes strongly that his future wife will be someone who can hold their own in life. The person would have to be much grounded in their spiritual life and their relationship with GOD. He is not making any exceptions about that and it would be an added advantage if she can cook FUFU & variety of African soups to go with that.
He believes that he is a very good chef and says "my woman must know how to cook too".
He has worked with notable Hollywood actors like HAKEEM KAE KASSIM, ALOMA WRIGHT, TANGI MILLER, MICHAEL BLACKSON, ORIS ERHUERO, TANJAREEN MARTIN etc....
His recent movie MY AMERICAN NURSE was released into the North American Market (USA & Canada) on July 18th 2008 and quickly became the number 1 selling African Movie in the USA & Canada.
At many film festivals, Pascal Atuma has been constantly referred to by his colleagues as the TYLER PERRY OF AFRICA. If this is true, time will only tell but thIS TRUE "SON OF THE SOIL" has our strongly supports for his vision and creative mind and we knows that this young man will continue to do us proud.
