Kakule William, the actor who portrayed Captain Alex in Uganda’s viral cult action film Who Killed Captain Alex?, has died.
The news was announced yesterday by the official Wakaliwood Instagram account, which shared the sad development.
Kakule rose to recognition for his role in the 2010 action film, which became an international internet sensation despite being produced on an estimated budget of just $200.
The film gained widespread attention, particularly in the West, for its unconventional action sequences, humorous moments and the remarkable passion behind its low-budget production.
