Shona Ferguson was told he wouldn’t make it as an actor

SAY the name Shona Ferguson and, more than likely, people know who you are talking about.

Over the years, Ferguson has made a name for himself, and lots of money too, as an actor and television producer.

However, there was a time when he was told he would not make it in the entertainment industry.

The Ferguson Films boss took to social media this week to open up about some of the difficulties he faced in the early stages of his career.

The Rockville star said that he was told he did not have the right look or real talent.

“Seventeen years ago, a Hollywood producer said: ’You don’t have what it takes’.

“An agent told me it wasn’t going to be easy to get me jobs because I didn’t have the right ‘look’.

“Many actors criticized me and made bets I would never make it in this industry. The insults got very personal.

“Anyway. I don’t hold grudges.”
