Original Indigenous Talent is a principle Talent Agency that represents Canadian Native actors in film, television, theatre, voice-over work, corporate and industrial videos as well as commercial work. The mandate of the Agency is to acquire roles in the mainstream industry for Native Actors and not just Native roles.
Vicky Gorbett who manages Original Indigenous Talent, has been in the talent agent business for over eight years total. Her own succesful Agency has been in operation for over three of those years. The decision to start a Native based Talent Agency was not made lightly, it came from a few directions. Her Native husband, Bill introduced her to the Native community and culture. As well, there were already a few Native people on her mainstream roster, Gorbett Talent, when she began noticing that there was a greater need for more Agents to push for Native Actors to be accepted into the mainstream industry, and advocate for cross-cultural respect and understanding. Original Indigenous Talent has been moving forward from this foundation ever since.
