IDENTIFIED AT LAST!!! (PART II) If you’ve been following me for very long I’m sure you’ve heard me shouting about Femi Ogun’s Identity School of Acting in London and 2 of my favorite young black actors to emerge from this amazing school. Back when I first started dropping their names very few Americans had heard of them and I had to jump through lots of hoops just to see their UK-based work here in the States. Now household names and on the lips of Hollywood’s movers and shakers, John Boyega and Malachi Kirby have officially blown up, and Femi Oguns is FINALLY getting the shine he deserves in the British mainstream media - 14 years after lighting his candle in the darkness. (Selah) Having watched misters Kirby and Boyega grow from American obscurity to “it boys” gives me an even deeper kindred sense of brotherhood with Identity than I had before. (and helps bolster the claims I sometimes hear in my corner of the industry about my “eye for new talent.”) Even tho I definitely fit the description of “outsider,” hahaha, this report by the BBC’s Colleen Harris gave me a warm familial feeling. I got all kinda love for Mr Oguns and my Identity family! And the purpose-minded alums keep taking flight!!!
