A Nigerian Pidgin phrase meaning “the hero never dies.” Used to describe someone who always survives, escapes trouble, or seems impossible to defeat — like the main character in a movie who can’t be killed off.
Example 1:
A: Wait, after all those cheating scandals he’s still married?
B: My guy, actor no dey die for film.
Example 2:
That striker missed five chances but still scored the winning goal. Actor no dey die for film.

Artful procrastination, typically in the style of an actor intentionally delaying or prolonging a cue so as to build dramatics tension. Usually unsuccessful. Unusually just annoying.
That last scene was SO INTENSE! I couldn't wait to see what he said next.
Yeah, perfect use of actor time.
