ABOUT U-SHIN
U-Shin Kim, originally from Portland, Oregon, cultivated his skills with a dual degree in Marketing and Theater Arts from Oregon State University, proudly supporting the Beavers.
Upon his transition to New York, U-Shin further honed his acting talents at The Esper Studio under the expert guidance of Suzanne Esper. As his journey progressed from acting to production and development across various media platforms, U-Shin's creative brilliance shone through, especially with his TV series "Hooking Up," which found success on Al Gore's Current TV.
Recognized for his exceptional talent-spotting abilities, U-Shin has built a reputation for swiftly transforming unknown individuals into recognized actors. His influence has catapulted several talents into the limelight, with names like T.J. Atoms from Hulu's "Wu Tang," Tara Ranni of "Grownish," and Lenny Thomas from "Ruthless" standing out as prime examples.
Guided by his fervent passion for nurturing talent and championing creativity, U-Shin ventured into talent representation, founding his SAG AFTRA-affiliated agency, UGA Talent, in 2015. With a selective roster of 100 clients, UGA sets itself apart with its community-focused and transparent approach. The agency's specialization lies in NYC network television.
UGA's recent accomplishments are commendable, with its clients gracing screens in acclaimed series such as “Sinking Spring,” “Dr. Death," "Manifest," "Blue Bloods,” "Severance,” “FBI," and many more.
On a personal note, U-Shin, a dedicated TV enthusiast, enjoys sharing his passion with his wife, Marie. Together, they revel in the joys of television alongside their young boys, Jax and Mylo. Additionally, U-Shin holds a special place in his heart for his Pomeranian, Phoebe Buffay, and has a particular fondness for BBQ Kimchi tacos.
