Femi Oguns - from actor to agent


Listen Later

According to the actor turned agent Femi Oguns it was God who told him to take his talents behind the screen.
At 26-years-old Oguns had a great career. He had played the lead alongside Helen Mirren in the 90's hit Prime Suspect and just starred in a film alongside Dustin Hoffman. Then God told him to he had different plans, according to Oguns it was 'hard to take at the time'.
But he listened and in 2003 began the Identity School of Acting - the UK’s first ever BAME focussed drama school aiming to correct the lack of diversity he felt when he was training as a young actor.
Now he's a prominent British agent representing talent like Letitia Wright and John Boyega.
He sat down with Christianity Magazine Editor Sam Hailes to talk about acting, nurturing talent and the path God has taken him on.
