EXCLUSIVE: While talent agencies comb Sundance to find and sign new talent, ICM has signed Adepero Oduye, who turned in one of 2011 Sundance’s breakout performance as the star of the Dee Rees-directed Pariah. The Cornell University grad is nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for Best Female Lead for her performance as Alike, a 17-year-old lesbian struggling with her identity in Brooklyn. But that accolade might pale compared to what happened last Sunday, when Meryl Streep gave Oduye a shout-out from the stage while accepting her Golden Globes Award for The Iron Lady. After auditioning for a role as an extra in the 2007 award-winning short film Pariah, Oduye was tapped by Rees to make her debut as the star of the feature, which was recently released in theaters by Focus Features. Oduye continues to be managed by Kathy Atkinson.

WOW…great job in the movie ODUYE,u de first Nigerian born actress who as really impressed me to really break-out into international stardom bcuz meryl streep given u a shoutout is definately one of the highlights of ur career…looking forward to seeing more of ur movie.
Way to go Adepero!!! You are a fine young actress and I wish you a great future in film… Now if only more directors could see fit to hire more black women in rolls that aren’t written specifically for a black chick, your future might look a little brighter.
ICM will do a great job in developing him over the next two years, till either he or his agent decide to bounce from that sinking ship of an agency to go to UTA, WME, of CAA.
Hmmm, to the last commenter Adepero is a young woman! Congrats to the actress, she did a great job in the film..
