Segun Arinze is still active in the Nollywood industry and has not retired or quit his acting career. However, he is no longer commonly seen as he was used to before. Segun has remained very relevant in the industry, having diversified his endeavors into film production and directing. Hence, it seems he now focuses more on the latter rather than appearing on the screen.<\/p>\n<p>Moreso, besides acting and production, Segun Arinze is an acting coach. He currently works with a prestigious African international film festival, where he uses his wealth of knowledge to train Nigeria&#8217;s next generation of actors. He previously served as the national president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Segun Arinze is Currently in His Second Marriage<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Segun Arinze was previously married to a fellow Nollywood renowned actress Anne Njemanze but the marriage was shortlived.
