GIVEN Stuurman is back on our TV screens and this time he is here to stay. The 22-year-old actor has been in the industry for more than 15 years. Doesn’t he qualify to be called a legend? He is now gracing us with his talent on Scandal! and the new drama series, MTV Shuga.

CHANGE IN THE INDUSTRY 

Given says the industry is now a different ball game than it was before when he started.

“I started in the industry when I was just five years old but I'm grown up now. This industry is completely different from what it used to be,” says Given.

He explains that showbiz has become weird for him because back then, it was more about talent than fame.
