SEASONED television actor Owen Sejake, who is notorious for playing aggressive characters on TV, will be tested in his new role in Rhythm City.

Sejake, who currently play Tiger in Zone 14 on SABC1, joins the soapie as Jacob - a character he believes is "soft". Jacob will be introduced to e.tv viewers on October 21 as Kop Khuse's brother.

Explaining his character, Sejake said: "Jacob is a soft guy but don't be fooled to think he is a fool. I find the role challenging because for a long time I have been playing aggressive roles."

Sejake has distinguished himself in drama series and films. He admits, however, that soapies are not his cup of coffee. "Soapies are not my thing, but if an opportunity presents itself I have to take it. Last year I did Isidingo and I enjoyed it."
