Sadly, this career opportunity blew away and he never got the role.

“I was once called to come and audition for a role on the South African TV series, Generations. They wanted me to be a brother to one of the actors because we looked somehow similar. By that time I was still living in South Africa after my time in Big Brother. I however got so nervous on being given the script. I had never been in an acting school of sorts so I was just raw. The role just vanished since I failed,” Gaetano recalled on the Home of Our Stars show with Flavia Tumusiime.

Furthermore, Gaetano also revealed that he got into Big Brother by accident.

He was apparently at University pursuing a business course which had become a menace for him. During his second year, he notified his father that he wanted to change to political science.

Despite having no idea about it, he went and auditioned. Luckily for him, he won and represented Uganda in the inaugural edition.

Gaetano made a name for himself from this show and this shaped his career path. He revealed that he’s forever grateful for the opportunities Big Brother presented to him.
