Johannesburg - Terry Pheto is set to represent South Africa as a juror at the Emmy's in New York later this month.
The National Film and Video Foundation, which represents the SA film and TV industry, was given the opportunity to host judging sessions.
The foundation selected Terry as its representative based on the major career strides her career has recently seen.
Terry has gained worldwide recognition for her role in Bold and The Beautiful, the Oscar-winning feature film, Tsotsi and her film, Ayanda, which is being screened across the US.
Always humble, Terry said she is grateful for the opportunity.
