Media personality and actor Martin Githinji, alias Daddie Marto, earned less than he spent in his early days of acting.
"Fare was Sh10k in total and I was paid Sh6k. So what then can I say my salary was?" he told Word Is of his first gig.
"My first salary was a minus but the perseverance and the patience to do that job is what has led me to do the things that I've done and where I am right now. It took time but it repaid itself."
Daddie Marto is part of the series 'County 49', which is a political thriller.
He plays a security detail to the governor of Bwatele county (played by Wakio Mzenge).
"This is me back to doing what I normally do. I have only been in one comic character."
