Founded in 1992, a crop of elite Hollywood stars currently represented by Paradigm includes Laurence Fishburne, Jada Pinkett Smith, Janelle Monae and Ed Sheeran.
“It’s a huge honour to have my talent recognised by a leading talent management agency such as Paradigm. I have two international projects coming out back to back and I believe this new relationship will enable me to explore further opportunities international,” Terry Pheto expressed in a statement.
This comes as Pheto is finishing shooting in South Africa BET’s upcoming limited series Madiba; where she plays Winnie Mandela and stars opposite Laurence Fishburne who plays Nelson Mandela.
Pheto will also next star in the upcoming Amma Asante-directed film A United Kingdom, about the real-life story starring David Oyelowo and Rosamund Pike as the interracial first president and first lady of Botswana.
"Winnie Mandela is a very special role that we identified as having breakout potential when we first read the Madiba scripts several months ago. We are excited to work with Terry to help make her career as important and successful in the United States and globally as she already is in South Africa" Paradigm Talent Agent, Nick LoPiccolo said in a statement.
Pheto's illustrious acting resume includes roles in Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, Cuckold, Tsotsi as well as The Bold and The Beautiful.
She also served as co-producer in last year's critically acclaimed South African film Ayanda.
