Hollywood’s brightest and emerging talents have seen Percy Daggs IV shine on all screens. It’s been a long while since we’ve witnessed an mangenue in the making. From Megan Good in Eve’s Bayou to Jaden Smith in Pursuit of Happiness, he possesses the same charisma and acting chops as they displayed in those iconic films. Daggs possesses an exceptional amount of je ne sais quoi for a youth actor in the industry.
From the age of 3, he practiced his lines in front of his parents and expressed his unwavering desire to become an actor. His parents understood that they had to nurture his dreams from that place. His father, Percy Daggs III, best known for his role in Veronica Mars, along with his actress wife, decided to manage their child’s career. After procuring representation with LA Talent, a sister agency of the internationally acclaimed LA Models and New York Model Management, he was catapulted into stardom.
During the early stages, he booked a number of print campaigns and TV commercials. Fast forward, he landed roles on high profile shows with megastars like Samuel Jackson’s The Last Days of Petomly Grey and of late with Sterling K. Brown in Hulu’s Paradise. In Halle Berry’s Never Let Go, he made his film debut as her son and gained international notoriety. His performance was captivating, and was interviewed on KTLA as well as earned a nomination from the NAACP Image Awards.
Now, he’s positioned to star in another cerebral sci-fi franchise film, The Hunger Games: Sunrise of the Reaping, slated to be released on November 20, 2026. In this prequel, he plays the son of Kelvin Richardson. Daggs appears stoic and righteous in the trailer that has been released. The film stars heavyweights like Glenn Close, Billy Porter and Elle Fanning. With plenty of buzz surrounding the film, we were able to catch up with IV regarding his newly found fame as well as his aspirations for what’s to come in the near future.
With a prolific family-style management, agency, and publicity team in place, 360 MAGAZINE predicts that Percy Daggs IV will step into the shoes of such greats as Denzel Washington and Sidney Poitier, especially with the unwavering support of his three younger sisters. Daggs is on the verge of becoming a global household name at the ripe age of 14.
