Hello and welcome to Faith and Famous the Podcast! Join us as your host Alan Shires interviews LA talent agent Jean Selig Wenger at Treasure Coast Talent who represents a vast variety of people and projects including Guardians of the Galaxy, The Chosen and Vindication!

Jean's career started by simply helping her son who was interested in film and entertainment. 7 years ago, at a conference, she felt God tug on her heart about being available to serve in the film industry, then no sooner heard Alex Kendrick talk about following your calling in film which further prompted her to pursue what God was trying to tell her.

She didn't know anything about the film industry other than what she had helped her son with but having relied heavily on God showing her where to be and opening doors and providing opportunities to learn, she started as a manager managing just 15 actors in Florida, to becoming the agent that she is today in LA!

Jean shares how God helped her to be who He called her to be in a place that is intense, not having to conform to the culture of LA but instead be who she is in God, and talks about the need to trust God because he knows the beginning middle and end, even when all we see is what's directly in front of us. She talks about the importance of not taking the glory for yourself but glorifying God and being confident in Him, and shares about the need to be prepared for self-tapes and taking seriously the first impression that you make. It is also important to create and know your boundaries as a Christian actor ready for when scripts come in, and being honest and real, and tactful in sharing where you feel uncomfortable with a project or script.

Join us to hear more fantastic advice and encouragement for Christian actors who are pursuing a career in the entertainment industry!
