Kingston, 3 April 2025 - The Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, the Honourable Olivia Grange, says actor, Munair Zacca, was one of the best home-grown acting talent to have emerged in Jamaica.

Minister Grange said “ He was one of the founders of Theatre ’77, along with the late Trevor Rhone and Yvonne Brewster, and together they took theatre to small venues, beginning with the 150-seat Barn Theatre on Oxford Road in Kingston. Before that, theatre was only presented in bigger spaces such as the Ward Theatre and the Little Theatre.”

Pointing to his outstanding talent Minister Grange said, “Munair, like good wine, mellowed with age, getting better at his craft as the years went by. He personified the ‘Sonny T’ character on the long-running CVM Television hit series, ‘Royal Palm Estate’. He made the ‘Sonny T’ role his own, creating a character everyone loved to hate.” 

According to Minister Grange, “Munair Zacca will long be remembered as an actor whose talent enriched both stage and screen.”
