You might know Denim Richards from your screen, most likely as Colby Mayfield, the loyal cowboy riding a horse donning a cowboy hat in the hit series, Yellowstone... but did you know the renowned actor is also a stellar entrepreneur and CEO?

Richards spearheads Opulent Entertainment Group along with talented South African director Mandla Dube, who has successfully transported African storytelling onto the global stage.

Their latest collaboration is with Primedia Studios, one of Africa’s leading content creators and curators, to produce stellar local versions of four of the world’s finest television talent shows: Project Runway, The Voice, Dancing with the Stars, and Idols.

Richards attributes part of his success to working and learning from a Hollywood legend like Kevin Costner, who taught him an important lesson: professionalism while focusing on the tiny details that inevitably make the biggest difference.

Something most people don't know about Richards is that he was trained as an Opera singer, but as he jokingly says, he picked the struggle of acting and producing behind the scenes.

Opulent Entertainment Group's partnership with Primedia Studios will be a chance to spotlight African voices, talent, and excellence, Richards says.
