Career

He played a leading role in the television show Things We Do for Love, where he earned the stage name “Shaker.”
A Lebanese youngster was supposed to perform his part in Things We Do for Love, and Michel believes that because of his Lebanese ancestry, he was awarded the part.
Majid revealed in a 2017 interview with Star FM Ghana that he didn’t receive the part for the first movie he auditioned for because of bad performing from him, citing his “love for acting” as what motivated him to keep working in the field.
Things We Do For Love was a hit and launched him into the public eye. He was chosen for his first film, Divine Love, as the male lead because of his performance in the television series.
Jackie Aygemang played the female lead, and Van Vicker played a supporting role. All three of them made their acting debuts thanks to their roles in the film.
Due to the enormous success of Divine Love, Majid Michel, Jackie Agyemang, and Van Vicker became well-known figures in Ghana.
He played a tyrant in the 2012 war movie Somewhere in Africa. Although the movie received mixed reviews from critics, Michel received widespread praise for the way he played the part and became the first person to ever win an Africa Movie Academy Award.
