Charlie Winfield President FFT Models
Charlie Winfield is the President. He is a 40+ year veteran of the entertainment industry, starting as a child actor at the age of 6 on Sesame Street and eventually playing “Grover” on Sesame Street. He continued acting for 20+ years in commercials, films, theatre, music videos and theatrical productions.
As a true “people person,” he felt that his expertise would be better served behind the scenes so he decided to pursue a career as a Talent Agent for film and television. He felt that as an actor you really need someone who has gone through the rigors of show business and could relate to you “the actor”. Charlie’s philosophy has always been… you can’t have the “Show” unless you understand the “Business” hence the term Show Business
