Exclusive: M88 has expanded its roster of multihyphenate talent with the signing of actor, environmental advocate and social entrepreneur Stephanie Suganami aka “Steph Shep.”
Since acquiring its sister firm Uncmmn in 2023, M88 continues to diversify its services for clients in traditional and new media.
“Now more than ever, it is obvious that the lines that once divided digital and traditional talent have all but disappeared,” M88 president and co-founder Phillip Sun said. “At M88 we have a deep understanding of what it takes to elevate multihyphenate talent like Stephanie Suganami and we look forward to our future together.”
Next up, Suganami will be seen in the A24 thriller Opus opposite Ayo Edebiri and directed by Mark Anthony Green, as well as the final season of Starz’s Power spinoff Ghost opposite Michael Ealy. Previous credits include Amazon’s Something From Tiffany’s and the FX/Hulu series Dave.

The cast for the upcoming movie Opus makes it one of next year’s most intriguing films in the horror genre. More here:
A24 has established itself as the destination for smart, modern horror with films like Talk To Me and Midsommar. Talk To Me this year alone has excelled where many higher profile horror movies haven’t.
Nonetheless, the studio’s upcoming project, Opus boasts the kind of ensemble (not to mention that grandiose title) that makes you wonder if this will be the studio’s biggest swing yet.

Now that :a[the SAG-AFTRA actors' strike is over]{href='https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/actors-union-makes-tentative-deal-to-end-strike/' } we'll be getting more announcements about projects gearing back up as performers can join movies and TV shows. One today, for mysterious new horror movie Opus, includes word via Deadline that John Malkovich and :a[The Bear]{href='https://www.empireonline.com/tv/reviews/the-bear-season-2/' } breakout Ayo Edebiri are leading the cast.
