Rising British actor Serhat Metin has taken a major leap onto the global stage, starring in Netflix’s hard-hitting crime thriller Havoc, directed by action auteur Gareth Evans (The Raid, Gangs of London). Sharing the screen with Tom Hardy, Forest Whitaker, and Luis Guzmán, Serhat delivers a performance that cements him as one of the most exciting names emerging from the UK’s acting scene.
Born in London to Turkish Cypriot parents, Serhat’s journey to the screen was far from traditional. A former amateur boxer, his pivot to acting began in 2011 on the set of The Veteran with Toby Kebbell — a turning point that set him on a path towards international acclaim. Over the years, he’s quietly carved a space for himself with gritty, grounded roles in Tyrant (FX), The Marine 6: Close Quarters, and Gareth Evans’ hit series Gangs of London. With Havoc, Serhat’s craft and commitment have brought him into a new league — acting alongside screen legends he once admired from afar.
Behind his success stands AMCA London, a dynamic UK-based talent agency founded by Spanish director and producer Antonio Cantos and talent agent and empowerment coach Jenna Manning. Known for their hands-on, artist-focused approach, AMCA London champions unique voices and culturally diverse talent, helping actors not just find work — but build meaningful, lasting careers.
“Serhat is the kind of actor who brings soul and sincerity to every frame,” says Jenna Manning. “His discipline, presence, and dedication to his craft are deeply inspiring. He’s worked tirelessly, and now he’s exactly where he deserves to be.”
Antonio Cantos, whose decades of experience span directing, producing, writing, and arts education, adds:
“At AMCA, we believe in representing artists with a story. Serhat embodies that spirit — his journey speaks to resilience, transformation, and sheer drive.”
Originally launched in 2017 as an artistic collective and agency in Spain, AMCA expanded into the UK with the launch of AMCA London in 2020 — born from a vision shared by Cantos and Manning after attending the Academy Awards together. The agency first focused on Mediterranean talent but quickly evolved to represent a wider spectrum of actors from across Europe and the UK. With deep roots in both theatre and film, AMCA provides a rare blend of creative development, mentorship, and global industry insight.
Serhat’s reputation for authenticity and intensity — along with his extensive stunt training and screen combat work — has made him a powerful presence in action-driven roles. In Dune: Part Two (2024), he portrayed a formidable Fremen fighter, showcasing not only physical prowess but emotional depth, continuing his momentum in high-profile international projects.
With Havoc now streaming worldwide and an ever-growing list of standout roles, Serhat Metin’s star is undeniably on the rise. And with the backing of AMCA London — an agency that believes in developing not just careers, but artists — this is only the beginning of what promises to be a remarkable journey. Lets see what happens next for the powerful duo.
