He entered the Nollywood industry at the age of 23, starring in ‘The Acquires as his first movie, where he featured alongside Justus Esiri and Chidi Mokeme. He kept his acting and continued to act as a feature character in many movies till his big break came in 2007 when he acted with Genevieve Nnaji and Desmond Elliot in the movie, ‘Wind of Glory.’ Since his big break, he has continued to act in versatile roles in the industry, especially in home videos.

As someone who saw his father actively acting in movies, he understands the industry to a great extent and the type of talents Nigeria can offer to the world. He felt Nigeria was not doing enough in regard to the film industry, so he went ahead and created his film academy in 2015 in a bid to train the next generation of Nollywood actors and actresses.

In July 2017, Yul Edochie relayed to the public that he had every intention to run for office in the Anambra State Governorship election.

In 2018, the current governor of Anambra State, Dr Willie Obiano, appointed Yul Edochie as the senior special assistant to the governor of creative and entertainment media.

He is the last child of Mr Pete and Mrs Josephine Edochie and has five older siblings. He has other family members in the Nollywood industry and has continued showing passion for what he does.

He attributes his inspiration to his father, Pete Edochie, and to other actors like Jim Iyke, Emeka Ike, Nonso Diobi, Charles Inojie, Robert Deniro, Al Pacino, and many others.
