The Official Agent List

The product of a merger between William Morris Agency and Endeavor, WME is not only a top talent agency in LA but also the largest talent agency in the international market. With talent that includes the Rolling Stones, John Travolta, and Clint Eastwood, it’s a sure bet that WME will get you where you wish to go. Originally, William Morris Agency and The Endeavor Talent Agency worked separately within the same city, though WMA had a storied, 100-year history of representing talent. While WMA had over a century worth of experience and expertise, Endeavor grew quickly and became one of the fastest-growing agencies just before the two companies joined forces. When the two entities merged in April of 2009, they became a celebrity agency in Hollywood. Today, their combined efforts as WME represent talent in every arena: movies, TV, music, theatre, digital and publishing, and even the NFL. It occupies a solid first position on my list of top talent agencies in Los Angeles. WME is also strong internationally which gives it a slight advantage over CAA (listed below).

Hello, Club scene music for djs download http://0daymusic.org Club/Trance/Dance/House/Electro... Best Regards, Eddie

Last one on our list of top talent agencies Los Angeles but by no means least is Don Buchwald and Associates group, otherwise known as DBA. Back in 1977 when Don Buchwald, the agent, has left a commercial talent agency called Atlas Talent Agency, he formed his own in New York City with five other partners. In 2010, they have finally opened an office in West Hollywood and now continue to grow in size very rapidly. Their biggest office remains in NYC where they own a building with six floors, all fully staffed. Even though their original niche was commercials, they are now a very strong theatrical agency representing some of the biggest stars in Hollywood. With DBA’s constant signing of bigger names, this agency is quickly climbing up the ranks, and will likely be a lot higher in my 2017’s top talent agencies in Los Angeles list update. I’ve seen and heard actors and filmmakers discuss the agency far more often in 2016 than it was back in 2013. So if you get an offer from these guys, do not shy away (does this beg a “duh”?)

Domain Talent is a relatively small talent agency compared to the above giants, with less than 100 clients and a small staff, but they’re easily one of the top places for representation in Los Angeles. The agency holds a high star power ranking and has represented well-known actors such as ALMA award winning Gina Torres. The agency is located between Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, and is run by executives Joe Vance and Melisa Spamer. The agency has little or no information published about themselves on the Internet, and it appears as though they do not have a website or email address. In order to reach them, actors can either phone or fax them.

Opened in the early 2000s, Defining Artists Agency has, at the moment, 58 signed clients.

On their website, Defining Artists states that they do work with non-union actors whom are under 18, but rarely with non- union actors who are above this age. When actors submit their work, the agency wants the material (consisting of a demo reel, resume, and a headshot as usual) to their email address. It should be noted that if the demo reel is unsolicited, it should only be sent to the firm as a link in an email.

David Shapira & Associates is run by David Shapira and they represent 122 actors, including Golden Globe nominated and Venice Film Festival award winning Kelly McGillis.

They do not have their own Facebook page, however.This is another powerful “boutique” agency and they’re located in Beverly Hills. DSA has been around since the late 1970s, yet describes themselves as having a modern approach to the entertainment industry by taking into consideration that actors market themselves with the help of blogs, social media and other mediums that aren’t traditional.
