He had his primary and secondary education in Enugu in the South-Eastern part of the country before moving to Nottingham for his university education. Upon arrival in the United Kingdom, he lived there and studied, eventually graduating with a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Business Management and Strategic Enterprises in 2011 at the age of 21.<\/p>\n<p>Upon completing his degree course, he moved to Los Angeles, USA, the city of angels, to pursue professionalism in his field of passion &#8211; acting. Enrolling in the New York Film Academy LA, he studied and obtained a master\u2019s degree in Fine Arts (Acting) at 24. Before graduating from the Film Academy, he wrote and featured as an actor in a short film titled <em>God&#8217;s Own Villa<\/em> in 2013 at the age of 23.<\/p>\n<p>The film was released in the United States and is central to the depression of an introvert struggling with agoraphobia. Ray played the introvert character alongside an American actress, Alyssa McCourt.\u00a0Also, at the same age of 23, he wrote, produced, and directed a short film titled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt3510716\/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_lk1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>You Don\u2019t Say<\/em> <\/a>in Los Angeles, which was supposed to be a comedic series airing weekly.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ray Emodi&#8217;s Mother is a Senator While His Father Was a Doctor<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>He was born into an affluent Christian-catholic family with high standards of morality and intense value to education, having a highly driven mother and a brilliant academician father. While growing up, his mother, Joy Emodi, pursued her education in law school and went professional by 1987. At the same time running businesses and raising the children too. The male-dominated political scene did not discourage her, as she pushed herself to become a senator at the Anambra North Federal constituency on 20th February 2005 after Emmanuel Anosike\u2019s election was annulled.<\/p>\n<p>Having been re-elected in 2007, her second term was appealed by Alphonsus Obi Igbeke, the candidate of the ANPP, and after protracted hearings, he was declared the winner in 2010. Thereafter she served as the presidential adviser.\u00a0His father, Late Dr. Okey James Emodi (Ph.D.), met and courted his wife Joy when he was a young lecturer, and she was a student pursuing her first degree in Geography at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.<\/p>\n<p>They later got married in 1980 in London. There is no doubt that his support and love were pivotal in molding the woman Sen. Joy has risen to become. Their affluence did not stop them from ensuring their children were raised in the ways of sound discipline. Dr. Emodi passed away at the age of 77 and was buried in September 2020.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ray Emodi Has Three Siblings<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ray Emodi has 2 sisters; Mrs. Nneka Emodi-Eze, Mrs. Chibogu Illozue, and a brother Mr. Onyechi Nwachukwu Emodi. Also, a close relative, Udy, who the actor grew up with, passed away on March 3, 2020, aged 26. The death of his relative was a sad and emotionally challenging time in the actor&#8217;s life, as he notes they were very close. He misses the person his brother was, intelligent, gentle, and godly. He loved music and listened to only gospel songs most of the time.<\/p>\n<p>His first sister, Nneka Emodi-Eze, is also quite close to the actor who fondly calls her \u201cbaby risky\u201d on social media. She is married to Alex Eze, who she never fails to applaud for his support, and together, they have 3 children. Nneka is a professional lawyer and a passionate educationist in which capacity she works as the Director of Brick Hall School Abuja, which was established in 2015. She enjoys her time with her kids and work.<\/p>\n<p>Not much is known about his other sister Mrs. Chibogu, but we know she married Mr. Chijioke Ilozue of Umudioka Dunukofia LGA of Anambra State in 2013. Their white wedding took place in Abuja in 2014.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>He Made His Debut in Nollywood at The Age of 27<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Before his return to Nigeria from the US, Ray featured in some international short films, including <em>You Don&#8217;t Say<\/em> (2014), <em>Eye on the Ball <\/em>(2014), and Animus (2015), where he played the role of Officer Wright.\u00a0His acting career in Nollywood started right after he met Mary Remmy Njoku, who believed in his skill and offered him a gig to cast in Unfinished Business in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Soon, he landed roles in many movies playing mostly leading roles in films that include <em>Heaven on My Mind<\/em> (2018),\u00a0<em>Caught in Between <\/em>(2018), <em>The Devil Within <\/em>(2019), <em>A Call From The Past<\/em> (2020),<em> Caught Up<\/em> (2020).\u00a0Over the course of his career as a Nollywood actor, Ray has featured alongside many A-List actors like <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/where-is-ruth-kadiri-from-a-detailed-look-into-her-biography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ruth Kadiri<\/a>, Bayray Mcnwizu, Mary Lazarus, and <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/yvonne-jegede-biography-and-why-she-divorced-her-husband-of-one-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yvonne Jegede<\/a>, among others.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ray Emodi is Also a Musician and Model<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Emodi has a blissful career in the movie industry.
